Bourbonese Qualk

Bourbonese Qualk began in Southport (UK) in 1979 when Simon Crab and his brother Ted began working together to create experimental music grounded in a DIY anarchistic spirit. 
Around 1982 after moving in a squat in London Julian Gilbert and Steven Tanza became members. They run the Ambulance Station as open culture space with an own studio, place for rehearsals, exhibitions and performances, printer workshops etc. and manifested their publications under the umbrella Recloose Organisation. Julian Gilbert left during 1985 to pursue a different path and Steven Tanza around 1986 working as The State in music and concentrating on art projects. 
From 1986 onwards Owen If (Rossiter) on percussion and multi-instrumentalist / guitarist Miles Miles became core members alongside big contributions by Kif Cole. They stayed true to their origins, stylistically uncompromising publishing and touring whenever they wanted with full control of their music, image and graphics.  
In late 2002 the band officially disbanded in the wake of the death of member Miles Miles.
==Links to Peel==
In an interview with Quietus, Simon Crab was asked about the Peel session: 
INTERVIEWER: Your reputation at the BBC as a destructive anarchist group meant that the peel session that you were invited to do was constrained by their refusal to let you use their equipment, insisting instead that you use your own, what had you done to earn such a bad reputation?
SIMON CRAB: It was more to do with John Peel’s producer, John Walters. He really took against us for some reason. I don’t really know why, maybe it’s the Liverpool thing, maybe it was the anarcho-squat thing, they never really qualified it.
After 1993, Peel seemed to have lost interest in the band's music and never played any of their material.
