The Rezillos/The Revillos
Before Punk came along, Edinburgh art college students Alan Forbes
and Jo Callis were R&B covers band The Knutsford Dominators.
Their succeeding venture, The Rezillos, was punkier in spirit
and mined the worlds of sci-fi, cartoons, 60s Bubblegum and
Carnaby Street. Forbes became 'Eugene Reynolds', girlfriend
Sheilagh Hynde renamed herself 'Fay Fife', while songwriter
Callis was now 'Luke Warm'.
After a Top 20 single, Top Of The Pops and a debut
album the band split into two factions: the singers formed The
Revillos (accentuating cartoon zaniness) while Callis formed
Shake! on his way to The Human League (where he wrote most of the
1981 pop classic Dare).
All core Rezillos reformed in 2004 for a US tour. Former
guitarist Kid Krupa passed away in 2005 as a result of
complications caused by diabetes.
