Siiiii

Siiiii were born in early 1983 when singer Paul, then only 19, moved from his native East Anglia to Sheffield purely to be in the band, joining guitarist Mark, and bassist Ange. Taking their name from William Burroughs' "The Soft Machine" they gigged extensively during the early to mid 1980's and possibly hold the record for the amount of times they were nearly signed to record labels. Siiiii disbanded in 1986 and the members went their separate ways. Mark went on to play with the Anti-Group and Paul became involved in The Niceville Tampa (now Niceville) and then DVO in South Wales.

Rodrigo meets the Queen stranger birds still are to be seen hurtling through the sky. The pernicious fog is breaking and behind that fraying blanket of ether, stars explode. Cast off your leather jacket. You have nice skin scarred well by nicer body markings. If I were fifty years younger, hell, who knows which way my gender preference may...
