DIFFERENT I's

about

Simon Gilham, Des McManus and Geoff Watts got together in late 1977 along with 'non musical' friend Royston to record six songs (some with Royston singing lead), four of which became 1978's Shish EP. ("Drive Your Car..." is an out-take from that same session.) John Peel promptly hailed Shish as the worst record-sleeve he had ever seen (probably true), and the DI's were (somewhat) famous. The Different I's later released the Folk Music 12", also on Tuzmadoner, with four different (albeit heavily interrelated) bands. "This Week" probably features the world's first-ever duck call solo. Further recordings languished... and not long after Folk Music, the Different Eyes/I's split up. Geoff Watts and Royston went on to Hibi Yaki, while Simon Gillham played with Colin Newman and later paired with Simon Fellowes in Intaferon.
