Dormannu

Dormannu was a punk/funk/gothic band from the UK. The band consisted of Simeon Warburton (vocals), Wig (bass), Lizard (Marcus Scott) (drums), Christine Johnston (keyboards) & Mark Tinley (guitar). The band toured with The Danse Society in 1984. 
Marcus Scott and Mark Tinley were also in the batcave band Let's Wreck Mother. They apparently had a huge falling out over Marcus putting blue joke dye in the rim of Mark's hat making his forehead go blue. Mark refused to go to a band rehearsal that day and left the band. Mark Tinley later formed another batcave band Tabatha's Nightmare with three other people and eventually forgave Marcus who then joined the band, as well. Mark Tinley was also in the hip hop/synth-punk group Diskord Datkord with Johnny Slut of the legendary deathrock band Specimen.
Simeon and Mark are both still making music. Simeon did sound direction for an independent film called "Luminal" which won an award at a film festival in Rome.
