'Can't Stand The Rezillos' was for many years an album that was in and out of my Top 10 favourite albums of all time. As you know, these lists can be very fluid but they were never far outside even when not Top 10! I loved the kitsch quality of everything that they did. I could relate to it as something that drew on all of those kids shows, made in the 1960's but still a scheduling staple in the 1970's. Adam West's 'Batman', everything that Gerry Anderson put his name to and all of those alien invasion 'B Movies'. This was the world occupied by The Rezillos.
I saw them when they first came back. Well actually I saw a reformed Revillos first in Shepherds Bush (who unsurprisingly played a number of Rezillos songs in the set). A few years later it was the turn of The Rezillos, with the original line up too, bar one member I think. They were brilliant, especially so since I thought the boat had sailed in terms of my chances to see one of my favourite bands.
Since that time they have been live regulars, but for me whilst still enjoyable, they have not managed to hit the same high for me that they did that first time around. But they are always great to see and on home soil, at least for Fay, they will be a great act to kick off the day.
Thanks to Peter for sharing the file with the site!
