NO MANS LAND - Anything At All 12'' 1988

No Mans Land were a Sydney band playing the traps from 1984 to 1988. They were fronted by the wild but gentle Dave Slade. Prior to No Mans Land, Dave was singing in The Mercy Killers (1984). They were in need of a new bass player and the obvious choice was Dave's friend Jim Leone. However, the band soon broke up and FRANKENSTINE was born with No Mans Land soon to follow. The early line up were Dave Slade (vox), Jim Leone (bass), Mark Welsh (drums), Peter Bennett (keys) and Mark Rostron (guit). When Peter left, Mick Duncan joined on guitar and keyboards, coming from the short lived Via Satellite where he was renowned for his frocks. Their first demo tape was released in 1985 and the first single plus a mini-album called "Savage Brides" followed a year later. Their last release is this 12'' here with two wavie gloomy numbers and I like the deep striking voice, beautiful melancholic and a damn good record. By the end of 1988 No Mans Land was no more and all band members are still active.
