From the Dave Sez archive:
Shriekback were formed in 1981 by XTC founding member Barry Andrews, original Gang of Four bassist Dave Allen and guitarist/vocalist Carl Marsh. Joined by Andrews' drummer Martyn Barker in 1983, they played funk-inspired dance music and got frequent radio-plays in their key period of 1982-1985. Here is all I have, divided into two downloads: Part One - BBC sessions and in concert, and Part Two - live in Holland 1983-1984 coming later.
