 The label also released two singles by Lori and the Chameleons, a Balfe and Drummond band which they formed after Big in Japan folded.
 Zoo Records went on to release early work from The Teardrop Explodes and Echo & the Bunnymen.
 The label also released the first single, "Iggy Pop's Jacket", by the Liverpool band Those Naughty Lumps.

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple.
 Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style.
 By the turn of the decade, the band's commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, "Ready an' Willing" (1980), "Come an' Get It" (1981), "Saints & Sinners" (1982) and "Slide It In" (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
The Fixations were a mod revival band from North London that formed in 1978.
 An early incarnation of the band, including Ken Gamby (drums), Paul Cathcart (vocals, lead guitar), Paul Cattini (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Noel Hughes (bass) started in summer 1976.
 The line-up changed in 1978 with Richard Sharp joining the band on rhythm guitar.
 Later Cathcart switched to lead guitar and taught Richard bass guitar, and gigs were lined up by November 1978, making them one of the first bands in the mod revival scene, and gaining a very early mention in "Sounds".
Paul Mirkovich (born March 20, 1963) is a Los Angeles native, and has been the band leader, keyboardist and duet singing partner for Cher for the last 16 years.

 Paul and the House Band toured the United States with Paul Stanley (from KISS) in October/November 2006 as well as Australia in April 2007.
Octopus were a British-Flemish band active 1973-1980.
 Formed in Diest in late 1972, the original members were Robert Vlaeyen, Steve Davies, Jean-Pierre Onraedt and Nic Roland.
 Robert Vlaeyen came from the group The Bats where Robert's brother, the television producer René Vlaeyen also played, but became Octopus's manager.
 After a time, Nic Roland left due to session work schedules, and was replaced by a friend of Steve's from England, Phil Francis, an excellent bass player and singer.
 Jean-Pierre was the most in-demand session drummer and had to leave the band shortly afterwards.
 and was replaced by another former 'Bats' member, Gerard Opdebeeck.
 The band worked as a 4 piece, but really wanted a fifth voice and a keyboardist.
 They auditioned quite a few and chose Paul Michiels, who later became popular for his work with the Belgian music group Soulsister.
Alembic was a poetry magazine established by Peter Barry, Ken Edwards, and Robert Gavin Hampson, which appeared eight times during the 1970s.
 The first issue appeared in 1973: it was a collection of poems by Barry, Edwards, Hampson and Jim Stewart with graphic work by John Simpson, Robert Snell and Sibani Raychaudhuri.
 The work was printed on different colours and sizes of paper - and contained in a plastic bag.
 It was sold at the Edinburgh Festival of 1973, where Hampson was working with the Liverpool-based multimedia group Zoom Cortex.
 (See Adrian Henri, "Events and Happenings", Thames and Hudson, for Zoom Cortex.)
The second issue maintained the same format (a collection of loose pages in a plastic bag) but with an increased number of poets.
 Richard Kostelanetz's assemblages have been described by the editors as their model for this mode of publication.
 With the third issue, the magazine adopted the standard little-magazine format of the time: A4 pages, card cover, stapled.
 Alembic 3, 4 and 5 also marked a more self-conscious engagement with contemporary London-based experimental poetry.
 "Alembic" 3 (Spring 1975) announced the intention to engage with "one area of contemporary creative practice' in each issue in order to represent the range of poetry being written in the UK.
 This issue focused on contemporary work that had its roots in surrealism.
 It included Lee Harwood's essay 'Surrealist Poetry Today', which had been a talk given at the Poetry Society, and it included work by Harwood, Paul Matthews, Jeff Nuttall, Heathcote Williams and others.
 "Alembic" 4 was edited solely by Hampson and was dedicated to open field poetry and the idea of place.
 Allen Fisher was the featured poet: in addition to work by him, there was also an interview with him conducted by Barry and Edwards.
 This issue also included work by Roy Fisher, Eric Mottram, and a small number of American poets, including Alan Davies, who was to be associated with LANGUAGE poetry.
 "Alembic" 5 (Autumn 1976)was edited solely by Edwards and focused on experimental prose, including work by Paul Buck, Opal Nations, Jeff Nuttall, Maxim Jakubowski, David Miller, the Canadian writer Greg Hollingshead and James Sherry, who was also associated with LANGUAGE poetry.
 This issue was also the first to be offset.
 (Like "Alembic" 4.
 it had a wrap around cover rather than card.)
 "Alembic" 6 (Summer 1977)was again solely edited by Hampson.
 It included further work by contributors to earlier issues.
 The featured poet was the Australian poet David Miller: as well as poems and essays by Miller, there was also poetry by Robert Lax and a reprint of work by Charles Madge, on both of whom Miller had written.
 In addition, there was also work by Rosmarie Waldrop, Tom Leonard, Elaine Randell and Barry MacSweeney.
 "Alembic" 7 (Spring 1978), edited by Edwards and Hampson out of Lower Green Farm, was the 'Assemblage Issue', assembled by inviting a range of poets and visual artists to provide the contents.
 It included work by Jeremy Adler, Paul Buck, Herbert Burke, Paula Claire, cris cheek, Bob Cobbing, Glenda George, Robert Sheppard, E. E. Vonna-Michel, Lawrence Upton and others.
 A particular feature of this issue was that every cover was different: they were hand-printed by Vonna-Michel with a rubber-stamp used for the title.
 "Alembic" 9 (to be edited by Hampson) was promised, but never appeared: Edwards had begun to publish "Reality Studios" as a slimmer, faster and more frequent publication.
 This eventually metamorphosed (through an amalgamation with Wendy Mulford's Street Editions) into Reality Street, which has been a major publisher of experimental poetry and prose since the 1980s.
Cradle of Filth was formed in Suffolk, England in 1991.
 The band's original members consisted of vocalist Dani Filth, guitarist Paul Ryan, keyboardist Ben Ryan (Paul's brother), bassist John Pritchard and drummer Darren Gardner.
 With this line-up, Cradle of Filth recorded a demo in 1992, titled "Invoking the Unclean".
 Soon after, they recorded their second demo, "Orgiastic Pleasures Foul" with new guitarist Robin Eaglestone (aka Robin Graves) and new drummer Was Sarginson.
 Robin left the band shortly afterwards, but following the departure of John Pritchard, Eaglestone returned to take his place as bassist.
 Guitarist Paul Allender joined the band at the same time.
 Following these changes, another demo was recorded, titled "Total Fucking Darkness" (released commercially in 2014, bolstered with rehearsal sessions and a surviving track from the abandoned "Goetia" album).
 Sarginson left the band soon after, paving the way for the entry of drummer Nicholas Barker.
Neo is a 1979 debut solo album by the American punk musician Ian North.
 It was recorded in 1978 in Ian Gillan's studio and released in 1979 by Aura Records.
 Although the album was released as a solo work of Ian North, he recorded it with three session musicians: Steve Byrd on guitar, John McCoy on drums and Bryson Graham on drums and they later formed Neo, as a "semi-band", because they were paid by North.
 Many songs were written by North while the band comprised him and the brothers Robin and Paul Simon.
 This line-up, the band's first played a gig during 1977.
 In early 1978, Robin Simon left to join Ultravox and, shortly afterwards, his brother Paul was sacked by North and joined Cowboys International.
Films of Colour are an English alternative rock band, formed in 2008 at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, Essex, England.
 They originally started gigging under the name of Spires but as there were other bands already established by this name, they later changed their name to Films of Colour.
 After seeing them at their second gig, they were taken under the wing of Phil Catchpole (Relentless Records) where he developed their sound and put them in the studio and finally on tour with Cage the Elephant.
 Paul Carey joined the band as a Co-Manager in 2009, but when Phil Catchpole left in 2010, Paul Carey continued on and took command as their sole manager.
 On 4 October 2010, the band released their first single "Actions" with the B-side "Circles" (both produced/mixed by Duncan "Pixie" Mills (Florence and the Machine).
 The single was released digitally and on limited edition 7" Vinyl by Fierce Panda’s sister label – Label Fandango.
 The band's sound were compared to acts such as Radiohead, Muse, Coldplay, early Bloc Party and Swedish act – Miike Snow.
 Simon Williams, head of Fierce panda described the band "as the best band he's signed since Radiohead and Coldplay".
 Picked up as The Guardian’s New Band of the Day, Best of Myspace Winners, The Independent newspaper’s Barometer: One to Watch and Steve Lamacq’s Favourite New Band.
