Perfect Daze

Perfect Daze were a power pop/punk band formed in Ipswich, Suffolk, England in 1984 from a love of trashy guitar based rock n roll. The first line up was Lorenzo Lambourghini (Laurence Bell now head of Domino Records) on vocals, Ben E Chunders and Rico Shade on guitars, Jim P on bass, and Dazzle on drums. This line up played mostly small, sweaty pubs, clubs and (believe it or not) a disused quarry to a rock n roll audience of friends and the curious and also layed down a few decent demos. After gathering a fair following there was a line up change with Wolfie Retard (of The Stupids fame) replacing Jim P on Bass, Scruff Petty replacing Ben, and Col replacing Rico, though later on John Roscoe, a local guitarist who would eventually collaborate with bands such as Sink and K-Line, replaced Col
Perfect Daze played live not only in East Anglia but nationally, and as the 1980's progressed, their loose links with the hardcore movement led to their signing by Vinyl Solution records of London, and to the release of a 12", Bubblegum. This featured a sound that was more indie than hardcore, but influenced by singers and bands like the Replacements and the Descendents, a heavy American influence shone through. Dazzle left to concentrate on touring with Extreme Noise Terror, and Timmy stepped up to fill his shoes.
