George & Martha

George & Martha were a short lived German noise rock band based in Hamburg, Germany during the late 80's. The group consisted of Christian Mevs (member of Slime), Frank Seele, Stefan Müller and Stephan Mahler. They made one studio album, Another Head, which was released in 1986 and several years later, a live album, Live In London Und Hamburg, which was released in 1989. In 1990, their 1988 Peel Session was released on a 12" EP released on the German label, Collision.

Peel seemed to have discovered George & Martha in 1988 when he played some tracks from their 1986 album, Another Head, on his radio shows. Through the strength of their album, Peel invited the group to do a session for his show in December 1988, which they did. This was a time when the band were touring the UK. The group's session never seemed to have been repeated according to Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions book and they never gained any further airplay after that.

Their only session is available on The Peel Session 12", 1990 (Collision, COMS 7.001)
