The Singles

Back in 2000, we got back together in Birmingham to Record a new version of “Midas Light” and 4 other songs. We released this under Heavy Rock Records as a CDr called ‘The Singles’ – available to still buy. We had all travelled the world since 1980 and came back mature men still with our juvenile humour. This picture was taken at the rehearsal room in Bath Row Birmingham. Geoff added Bowie as he couldn’t make it in person.

Germany, 1980

The Lambouy club in Hanau German, playing for the Americans in 1980. We looked so young and innocent. With in a hour we had all broken the law…except for that guy hovering in the background – Mr Stratford. Ironically I now live in Stratford.

Waking Up, 2015

In 2015 we recorded and released a single called ‘Wake Up’ our best song to date. It was released as a download only. We took this photo a potential promo picture to go with the download, but ended up with a boot from Geoff.

Waking Geoff Up

Another promo picture of Geoff to be used for Wake Up. This was just after Geoff died.  We put him in the microwave for this picture.

Amish Women Rock!

Not many people realise that Midas Light was a huge hit with the Amish Women. They posed for this photo to promote the single in their community. They were virgins when they took this photo.  Two hours later me and Geoff left.

Fire in the Hole

A rare photo of the band rehearsing in Fleet Street – where it all began; until it burnt down and go flooded. It wasn’t an insurance claim officer.

Pyros ricochet

More Fire in the Hole

The Finn testing his pyros in the Attic at Fleet Street. No officer, this did not cause the fire. The blast just misses Bryan on guitar. In the centre of the picture was Spider, never to be seen again. No animals were hurt in this picture but a few fans got scorched with the real ones on tour.

Fire and Glass

More of the Finn’s experiments with Pyros – this time using highly flammable powder that makes false teeth. Spider setting the place alight. All of this because of fucking Stray and their song, Fire and Glass.

Thin Finn

Young, thin and fit Finn eating at a BBQ in Germany. He is still eating.

Honest Thieves

The last time the boys were caught in action at the Asylum Birmingham 2014, singing Honest Thieves….because we’ve never been caught.

 

The Great Resurrection

After Geoff died we had to resurrect him for Feet on the Monitors. This was done by the magical box used for the gig in the sky from the Asylum animated TV series. Episode one coming soon.

Scarlett Pimpernail

After a few hours from digging Geoff up he started to turn a funny colour. We wanted to call the new song Beetroot Face Beggar, but as a favour to and in memory of Geoff we called it Blue Eyed Beggar.

World Cup Willy

This was Geoff in 1966, just after training with England in the world cup qualifiers. He decided to give up football to join Ricochet, he was also shit scared of Nobby Stiles.

Magic Baccy

While in Germany Geoff bought some magic tobacco. When you smoked it your eyes went black.  If only you could see his arse Mr Mannering.

Hijacked by Aliens

Here we are just after being hijacked by Aliens. They turned the Finn’s legs and pubs hairy red and gave Dave a head of hair.  Loz, on the end, enjoyed it so much he went back to join them and is still in outer space.

Here we are making a porno movie. There are some weird scenes with puppets in the desert.
