Model Mania
Model Mania were formed in late ’75 with Jim (Vocals), Rob (Guitar) and Andy (Drums). Martin Beech (Boco) later joined on Bass. Weeks after playing their first gig in 1977 they supported The Prefects at Rebecca’s night club in Birmingham and became friends. The Club DJ Wayne Myers also became their manager and as he also deejayed at Barbarellas in Birmingham, it meant a virtual residency at that club.
Over the next 6 months, they played The Roxy, Vortex etc supporting bands such as The Slits, Adverts and Stranglers and even touring with The Clash after Bernie Rhodes’s interest.
In 1977 Model Mania made their first demo – No Pride/ Shit and Glass. In 1979 they released No Pride Slow Suicide / Epic Cowboy on Boob Records. Soon after Boco left. They carried on but it was all over really and that was that.
