VIRGINIA WOLF: ‘Walkie Talkie Boy’ (Creole).
Horrendous reports of this band live made me dubious about Walkie Talkie Boy’, but the fears I held were not totally realised. At least there is a rock band here unafraid to try something different. The song is a
synth’ rock number which would lie somewhere between. After The Fire and an infinitely less pompous Saga.
Execution of the style is somewhat lacking, but future possibilities? Well, maybe.
I saw this line-up in Swansea-The Dublin Arms pub. Dave on guitar and Polymoog and some dude with the surname of Slaughter on vocals. What a gig, fantastic.
