Like our old
friend Mr Fiend in Demon Preacher the Unwanted had a future goth
luminary and Batcave owner in the shape of singer Ollie Wisdom. Classic
77 band. Some great moments for instance their cover of These
Boots Are Made For Walking
on the b side of Secret
Police (1978
Raw) if only for the fact that it sounds like Wire. Track on
Live at The Roxy
- Freedom.
Other great tracks Bleak
Outlook and
1984. Two members later ended up in the Psychedelic Furs. Unconfirmed
reports now have Ollie as an ageing dance DJ ! Sad ! Underneath is from
the back of the Unwanted's Secret
Past album.
THE UNWANTED WERE
FIRST FORMED IN MID MARCH 1977 from a meeting between Ollie a clothes
shop proprieter in the Kings Road and Mark Curzon a student at a private
educational establishment. Mark knew of Ollie's guitarist requirement
due to a notice pinned to the back of his vile leopard skin t shirt
After signing to
Raw Records the band was as follows OLLIE WISDOM (19) Schooled in
Hereford dropped from college in Hereford after serving 3 months of his
sentence. Served in an office as a shipping clerk / dogsbody then left
due to terminal boredom . Next year on social and selling clothes
in Kings road likes girls Debussy and speed
DAVE POSTMAN(20)
Likes lager and sleeping on the job. Plays cheapo fender bass copy and
lent his 2nd cheapo fender to Sid Vicious. Was in Flowers of Romance
with Sid.
ROBBIE(17)Little
known about this enigmatic character apart from the fact that the
manager stole him from PEROXIDE ROMANCE. Likes; vile clothes and his
vile drum kit
All their best
moments captured on retrospective - Secret Past. Good live tape of them
about at The Vortex doing songs like Fuck The Jubilee.
