Ex Post Facto

Ex Post Facto was a British band from Liverpool formed in early 1980 and featured Chris Clarke (a.k.a. Chrissie Clarke) on vocals (later Placenta Sisters, Goat People), Frank Sparks on keyboards, joined by Paul Reason on guitar (also US Companion, Keep It Dark), Bernie Carroll on bass (later of Young Lions), and Mark Coleridge on drums (later of Glitter Band, Smokie, The Stiffs, Project 23, Glass Torpedoes, I-lands). The band developed a synth-goth style that, if not totally original, was well representative of that period, combining keyboards with Siouxsie-like vocals. Between the year 1980 and 1983 the group released three singles.A testimony of the hectic live activity of the band is their only LP ('She’ll Rape the World’ recorded live at Pickwick’s (Liverpool) on April 25th, 1984. Earlier the same year Ex Post Facto also released a Peel Session. During live appearances guest musicians were Judith Laity (cello, also Goat People, Royal Family & The Poor), Andy Warren (guitar and backing vocals, I-Lands), Karen Halewood (on keyboards, also Rebél Da Fé, Royal Family & The Poor), and Pete Chegwin (also on keyboards, Danse Macabre, Oceanic Explorers, Innervision).

Peel played the band's debut single in late 1981 and would play further tracks from the group until the mid 80's. The band did a session for his show in 1984, as well as for his friend and colleague, Kid Jensen's programme.
