Hi, Lung Leg began around late 93 with 4 girls; Mo, Jane, Annie and Jade. They were pretty scrappy but wee punks and had an ear for a good tune. Everything at the time was kinda crappy versions of Slint or really earnest hardcore so they got together.They liked to look glamourous just like Roxy Music and liked to have a good tune you could whistle like the Fall. Jade left around 95 or so, the usual story… They got a foxy boy drummer who could do a good Spector beat. They did a couple of Peel sessions which was an honour. Theyrespected the RIOT gIRL THING but were too interested in writing a good tune. At times it seemed we were always classed as a ‘girlband’. They hung around with The Yummy Fur, (Jane’s brother is John)and made an album.Alex,(now Franz Ferdinand) plays keyboards on a couple of tracks. MoMo left to have a little boy, (and fell out with most of the band for a while)and Phillipa joined around mid 1997.The little boy remains a dedicated Bowie (in Berlin) fan. The band went to America and made an EP with the Makeup before splitting in 1999. |However, it is believed that eyeliner is still applied badly in parts of Lanarkshire and Glasgow to this day. |
