The
classic line up is below complete with obligatory 'false' names. Underneath are their real ones.
Maggot - Vocals. Blister
-
Drums. Jones - Guitar. Zero
- Bass.
Paul
Rutherford - Vocals.
Peter Clarke - Drums. David
Littler - Guitar. Peter Griffiths - Bass.
However fame was to
come at a later date albeit in a different form for some members of the
band. You
and I know would know Blister better as Budgie, later to
join the Slits & Banshees, and Maggot as Paul
Rutherford later to become famous as backing singer /
dancer in Frankie Goes To Hollywood. For David Littler a
spell with The Photons would see him co write with Steve Strange such
songs as Mind
Of A Toy and
Tar
which Mr Strange would eventually use for Visage.
The Spitfire Boys
influence perhaps goes a lot further than that. Friends of the band at
the time included Pete Burns, Julian Cope , Ian Broudie & Pete Wylie all of whom were to play an important part
in the Liverpool scene of the early eighties.
