Shriekback
Shriekback was formed in 1981 by former XTC keyboardist Barry
Andrews and ex-Gang Of Four bassist Dave Allen. The band belonged
to that early 80s school of indie (classmates: Cabaret Voltaire,
Gang Of Four) who considered playing austere, twitchy funk to be a
subversive act.
Between 1981 and 1988 they released six albums of chopped,
experimental art-funk with a vaguely political hue, then split
before re-forming to tour the US in 1992. Unfortunately, the
constant frantic quirkiness eventually became irksome.
