Jazzateers

Jazzateers were a Scottish underground pop/post-punk group formed in 1980 who recorded for Postcard Records, Rough Trade Records, and have had compilation CDs released by Marina Records and Cherry Red Records. The group was formed by songwriters Ian Burgoyne and Keith Band.
After the demise of Postcard, Jazzateers followed labelmates The Go-Betweens and Aztec Camera by signing to Rough Trade Records, finally releasing an eponymously-titled debut album in 1983. The album was a critical and commercial success, but true to Jazzateers contrary spirit, they put the Jazzateers brand on hold and transmogrified into Bourgie Bourgie, signing a major label deal. Bourgie Bourgie recorded an album (unreleased) and split up after a couple of singles.

==Links to Peel==
Peel played many of the Jazzateers material in 1983 and when they transmogrified into Bourgie Bourgie, he continued playing their songs including a session for his programme in 1984. Mick Slaven, the guitarist of the band as part of the Jazzateers and Bourgie Bourgie, later formed the Leopards, who had plenty of airplay on Peel's programmes in the late 90's as well as two sessions for his shows.
