More on Deaf School
Description from Wikipedia:
Deaf School were a late 1970s English band from Liverpool. Their style was somewhere in between pub rock, punk, glam rock and art rock. They disbanded after their third album. The journalist, author and founder of 'Mojo' Paul Du Noyer described them thus: " In the whole history of Liverpool music two bands matter most, one is The Beatles and the other is Deaf School. If that seems like a sweeping statement then consider this: after the pop revolution of the 1960s led by The Beatles and other Merseyside groups, it looked as if the city's music scene had dried up forever. But in 1975 there came a motley band of Liverpool art students called Deaf School. And they were the catalyst for the most dramatic revival since Lazarus. Their impact on the city is with us to this day." Their members carried on in music business; singer Bette Bright went solo, Clive Langer became one of the foremost producers of the 80's/90's producing Madness, Morrissey, David Bowie, Dexies Midnight Runners and Bush amongst others, Steve Lindsey formed the hit band The Planets scoring a Top Of The Pops appearance with his song 'Lines', Enrico Cadillac (real name: Steve Allen) joined Ian Broudie (former member of Big in Japan) to form the Original Mirrors who released two albums. Allen later formed The Perils Of Plastic with former Attraction's keyboard player Steve Nieve before going onto a successful pan-European solo career, later taking on the management of Espiritu as well as an A&R post helming WEA UK's dance-pop imprint Eternal Records until from 1993 to 2004.
In May 2006, Deaf School re-formed for a couple of live-gigs, culminating in an extremely oversubsribed concert at the The Picket venue in Liverpool for it's grand re-opening in the newly formed Independent District on May 27th. These gigs including The Picket concert were filmed for posterity by Liverpool based film company Plasma Planet Productions.
