The Armoury Show. + Informações

The Armoury Show was a band of the 1980s. The band was named after the Armory Show, a famous 1913 modern art exhibition in New York. They released only one album, Waiting for the Floods, in their brief existence. Previously Richard Jobson and Russell Webb were both members of the band The Skids, while John McGeoch and John Doyle had both been in Magazine, with McGeoch also appearing in Siouxsie & the Banshees and collaborating for The Skids in a Peel Session in 1981. Between 1986 and 1987, after the releasing of the album and the next tour, McGeoch went to Public Image Ltd. and Doyle collaborated with the Buzzcocks singer/guitarist Pete Shelley, being Jobson and Webb as the remaining members until 1988 when, after some material releases in 1987, they announced the band split up. Webb dedicated a solo career (according to the band's fansite) and in 1992 followed the steps of McGeoch in Public Image Ltd., and Jobson returned to a temporal solo career.. + Informações

This brilliant performance was on YouTube, but it was removed, I've no idea why. Luckily I had "ripped" a copy. From "The Tube", in 1985 I think.. + Informações

That the group's music shows similarities to the group Big Country most likely has to do with the fact that Richard Jobson, the singer from The Armoury Show, earlier played together with Stuart Adamson, the singer from Big Country, in a group called Skids. If you've ever seen The Armoury Show play in their hometown of Edingurgh in Scotland, then you can understand that they are a typical Scottish phenomenon: The English is harder, but the contact with the public is more quiet and not so hectic, nevertheless direct. After a concert, the musicians still sit in the foyer with their fans. The big drums and the 'big' sound are trademarks of the group, similar to Big Country. Sometimes the singer, Richard Jobson, looks like a boxer and reminds one of Muhammed Ali. The creative tension comes from his texts and the music from guitarist, John McGeoch, who also left his mark on the different sound of Siouxsie and the Banshees. For a while, McGeoch was also a member of the group, Magazine, and belonged to the top class of guitarists of the new generation after 1976. The function of bass player, Russell Webb, as a singer, is important. With his clear, high voice, he sings all the second parts. The group's goal is to carry through positive energy, which they themselves embody. What this is all about, is told by Richard Jobson announcement to 'Avalanche': He'd rather be a boxer, even when that means getting hit on the nose once in a while instead of always remaining the same, the way .... + Informações

This one might be not so well known... The Armoury Show, the band that John McGeoch played in after his departure from the Banshees. Richard Jobson on vocals, Russel Webb on bass, John Doyle on drums. The sound is more pop oriented than the Banshees, and less experimental in some ways, but still very creative stuff. Go search for it on the web! Castles in Spain and Higher Than The World recommended! I think the original song got a bit too low on the mix, sorry. By the way, original music is copyrighted to... uhm... someone. I'm waiting for Youtube to tell me who.... + Informações
