ANDY COLQUHOUN info
Andy Colquhoun
(guitar, bass)
First I read about Andy was
being in March 1977 in a band called Warsaw Pakt, formed by Motorhead's
first drummer, Lucas Fox:
-
Jimmy Coull (vocals)
Andy Colquhoun (guitar)
John Walker (guitar)
Chris Underhill (bass)
Lucas Fox (drums)
They released a self-titled
album, before splitting in March 1978.
In May 1978, he joined Tanz
Der Youth:
-
Bryan James (guitar, vocals)
-
Andy Colquhoun (bass)
-
Tony Moor (keyboards)
Alan Powell (drums)
But they split very soon, on
September 1978. They only released a single, 'I'm sorry I'm sorry / Delay'
(Sept 78).
Then, he joined Mick Farren.
Mick had just recorded an album, Vampires stole my lunch money
(Aug 78), where he played. As Mick wanted to play a tour for promoting
the album, in September 1978, Andy accepted being part of the band. Their
name? Mick Farren & The Good Guys:
-
Mick Farren (vocals)
-
Larry
Wallis (guitar, vocals)
-
Andy Colquhoun (guitar)
-
Willy Stallybrass (harmonica)
-
Gary Tibbs (bass)
-
Alan Powell (drums)
Next thing for Larry was teaming
with legendary guitarist Wayne Kramer (from MC5 fame). Kramer needed a
band to play some concerts in the UK in March 1979, and Larry and Andy
were there:
-
Wayne Kramer (vocals, guitar)
-
Larry
Wallis (guitar, vocals)
-
Andy Colquhoun (bass)
George Butler (drums)
In August 1981, Andy formed
his own band Turbo:
Andy Colquhoun (guitar)
Tom Jackson (vocals)
Ian Henderson (bass)
Simon House (violin)
Simon King (drums)
Next thing to resurrect was
... Pink Fairies, in 1987:
-
Larry
Wallis (guitar, vocals)
-
Andy Colquhoun (bass)
-
Duncan Sanderson (bass, vocals)
-
Twink (drums)
-
Russell Hunter (drums)
They released a new album in
1987, Kill 'em & eat 'em.
Andy seems to be a regular component of the different
Deviants incarnations in the 90s. This lineup released the album Eating
jello with a heated fork in 1995:
-
Mick Farren (guitar, vocals)
-
Andy Colquhoun (guitar)
-
Jack Lancaster (wind)
-
+
-
Wayne Kramer (guitar)
-
Paul Ill (bass)
Brock Avery (drums)
But, apart from the band, Mick Farren & Jack Lancaster
released an album credited to the duo, and called The Death Ray tapes.
It's a live album recorded with this lineup:
-
Mick Farren (guitar, vocals)
-
Andy Colquhoun (guitar)
-
Doug Lunn (bass)
-
Jack Lancaster (wind)
-
Toss Panos (drums)
Other guest players in the album, the mythical Wayne
Kramer (from MC5 fame), and again, actor Brad Dourif.
A new lineup for a special
gig for The Deviants in 1997 was:

Mick Farren (vocals)

Frond)
