ELECTRIC SLIM & THE FACTORY HEN

Before the Interweb, txt msgs and the 21st century, there was:

• Electric Slim & the Factory Hen! My first ever band!
• The year: 1990. One day in school, me and a couple of the boys vowed that, when our GCSEs were over, we'd buy guitars! learn to play them! form a band! and play the legendary MCB Easter Rock Concert!
• And so, we did.
• We roped in more friends to play keyboards and drums. We rehearsed every bloody Saturday for nearly a year (we loved it, of course). We braved tinnitus and blisters! Subjected each other to ludicrous choices of cover versions! I even insisted on programming my ZX Spectrum to play extremely rapid synthesizer arpeggios…
• Finally, after months searching for a decent singer and toying with being called Well Sussed and/or Jeffrey's Curtain, we persauded Archie to be our frontman, and assumed our true moniker.
• And, when Easter came, we mounted an enormous wooden stage and did our teenage duty… the remaining evidence is now on YouTube:
