Subject: So, What Happened To The Revivalists ?
> Hello,
> Here`s a story for you, bit long, but stick with it.
> Firstly here`s a quote from "This Is Mod Volume 1", regarding The
> Circles:
> "There was no doubting they were Mods, the band posed on the sleeve in
> parkas, one of the members astride a Lambretta."
>
> Anyway, the other day at work, one guy at work brought in for another
> workmate (both metal fans) a copy of issue one of "Kerrang". It was
> around at lunchtime so I had a thumb through it. It was dated 1981, and
> had an up and coming section of promising metal bands. Well, a band name
> caught my eye, "Split Beaver" !! Had to read it. Here`s a bit from the
> article (I had to photocopy !).....
>
> ".....featuring Keith "The Mod" Allen on drums. Mr Allen, as his
> nickname indicates, used to prefer Lambrettas to Suzukis. He once "beat
> the skins" for a Mod outfit called The Circles, but has now, we`re
> assured, seen the light and is growing his hair as fast as he can. The
> first single, "Savage/Hounds Of Hell" is out now.
>
> Which got me thinking. Whatever happened to all the failed revivalist
> bands then ? Did they all join metal acts ? Or change careers entirely ?
> Is this the most bizarre change of career or are there worse ?? I`d be
> interested to know.......
>
> Cheers,
> David W.
