Beki Bondage

about

Beki Bondage is a musician in the punk band, Vice Squad. Bondage is often cited as being the first punk pin-up[1], and featured on the front cover of a number of influential music tabloids such as Melody Maker, NME, and Smash Hits. She controversially posed topless for the cover of Sounds (although in a non-explicit pose), appearing a total of three times on the cover[2]. In 1983 she left Vice Squad to form the band Ligotage with Steve Roberts of UK Subs. Sales of their debut single "Crime and Passion" (1983, EMI) were disappointing, and their only album Forgive and Forget was released on the independent Picasso Records label[3]. Following the release of two solo singles in 1985, Bondage formed The Bombshells (often billed as "Beki & the Bombshells") in 1986. The band continued to play on the London club and punk circuit for many years. Beki took up the guitar in 1996 and has co-produced her last three albums as well as writing lyrics and music. In 1998 she reformed Vice Squad with a new line-up; the band continue to record and tour, particularly in Eastern Europe[4]. The band also played a lengthy set at the 2006 Badfest festival[5]. Her most recent album 'London Underground' (2009) was released on 'Last Rockers Records' a label she set up with songwriting partner Paul Rooney. She has written, recorded and played live continuously since 1986, and was the only woman on the 15 band strong 'Social Chaos' Tour of the USA in 1999. She has in recent years played successful
