They hailed from Brighton... The spirital home of MOD!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDave Barnard (vocals, bass), Tony Maybury (guitar), Marcus Vandell (vocals), Stewart Green (drums), Pete Lyon (keyboards). A Mod \/ Powerpop crossover act formed in 1979 when Barnard and Maybury left the punk band 'The Depressions'. However, this was a short-lived venture, their debut output being two tracks on the Vaultage ’79 compilation. They also subsequently released a single on Pete Waterman’s Loose Ends label, but although Barnard thinks ‘Ruby Toot’ was a “great single”, it disappeared without trace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Pete Lyon would point out in a subsequent e-mail to punkbrighton.com, “Dave Barnard wrote a lot of good songs but we never made it. I think the main reason was our huge consumption of drink and drugs, but I'm not an expert.” Sadly, that was enough to do for Tony Maybury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDave Barnard went on to play Bass with Steve Ellis Love Affair and Northern Soul Chicago legend Terry Callier. He now continues to play as a local musician in Brighton, Stewart Green still plays drums in local bands, while Pete Lyon is now resident in Bangkok and Marcus Vandell is a music producer in Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Detour Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48135466057883,"sku":"7\"DR163PD","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1491\/5680\/files\/NjgtNDUyMy5qcGVn_1.jpg?v=1773552428","url":"https:\/\/pnvdistribution.com\/products\/vandells-soul-shout-ep-7-pic-disc","provider":"pnv distribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
