FLUX OF PINK INDIANS - Strive To Survive & Neu Smell 1982

Flux Of Pink Indians were an anarcho-punk band from Hertfordshire, who released three albums from 1982-1986 in different styles. The first was hardcore punk, the second a mix of noise, political lyrics and melody and the third a mixture of protest songs, dub, funk and percussion. A bit info from punkygibbon: "Formed out of the remains of the band The Epileptics in early 1980 by Colin Latter (vocals) and Derek Birkett (bass). Latter and Birkett were joined by guitarist Andy and new drummer Sid (Rubella Ballet). In fact, the "new" band was actually just the end of The Epileptics: they just decided that with a new sound and a new set they should change their name. Colin had become interested in North American Indian culture and suggested Tribe Of Pink Indians, before settling on Flux Of Pink Indians in August 1980. Demos were recorded and the band played Stonehenge when the infamous 'biker's riot' occurred (during which Colin got bottled)." One Little Indian released this CD in 2008 and includes their debut EP from 1981 plus the first album. The rest of Sunday is spent with chilling out, because I'm a little platt.
