The Rezizters were. Dave
Davenport
vocals, Elena keys & synths, Keef drums & percussion, Mark Fane 1st guitar, Chris 2nd
guitar,
and Paul bass.
The band were formed in 1977 and all band members lived in Cannock,
Staffordshire. There own music was a mix of punk / trash -rock.
They played many cover versions of chart songs at that time, some to mention
are: the Sex Pistols, the Dammed, the Ruts, the Clash , Magazine etc. We played
small pubs first, the "Nest" in chadsmore, the "Star an Garter" in Cannock,
various Youth Clubs and self promotion gigs, till we got our own promoter he put
us on at Cannock Forum theatre, Bilston Town Hall, Darlaston Town Hall, these
were much bigger venues and we were doing many other gigs in the West Midlands
area and attracting a very loyal following. We did some demos en stuff but our
music kept changing to the point that we were having musical differences. Mainly
due to the electronic age creeping upon us. Synthesizers! Computers! Electric
drums! Gasp! Horror! Anyway we enjoyed every minute we played, even when our
transit van broke down on the M6 on our way to a gig in Coventry!, it cost us
about sixty quid to get home that night that was two weeks wages in them days!
Sadly the band split in 1980...
