World Of Twist

World of Twist were an English indie pop band, formed in Sheffield in 1985.
The original line-up of the band consisted of James Fry (brother of Martin Fry, singer of ABC) (vocals), Andrew Hobson (bass guitar), Gordon King (guitar), Tony Ogden (drums), Rory Conolly (saxophone), Nick Phillips (organ) and Andy Robbins (synthesiser). This version soon disintegrated, and some years later a new line-up emerged, this time based in Manchester.
A short lived 1986 version of World of Twist featured Gordon King (vocalist and co-songwriter), Tony Ogden (co-songwriter), Andy Hobson (Bass, Keyboards), Neil Drabble (visuals).
The 1989 version of World Of Twist featured Ogden (now vocalist and co-songwriter), King (guitar and co-songwriter), and Hobson (synthesisers) joined by Alan Frost (visual effects, synthesisers), Julia aka M.C. Shells (swirls and sea noises) and Angela Reilly (visual effects). Nick Sanderson (drummer, who later joined Earl Brutus) joined some time later.

==Links to Peel==
Peel played the band's single. 'The Storm' in May 1990 and would play further material from the group, including a session they recorded for his programme in 1991. When reviewing records as part of the NME Singles Reviews in 1991, he described their single, 'Sweets', as a pop record, which is always nice to see. I can't see the government falling but I can see the unmitigated pain of existence being leavened for three minutes.
