Hello. Whistle Test is in Manchester tonight | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
with two equally exciting attractions in the studio, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
Siouxsie and the Banshees and John Cooper Clarke. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
There's also some very rare film of Steely Dan, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
plus that Peter Tosh film | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
Mick Jagger promised a couple of weeks ago. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
And it's just possible we might see The Cars this week. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
Around a year ago, the entrance to almost every record company | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
in London was aerosoled with the command, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
"Sign the Banshees. Do it now." | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
In fact, no-one did for a long time. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
But significantly as soon as Siouxsie was committed to vinyl, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
they had more or less instant success. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Their first album will be out next Monday and it's entitled The Scream. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
They're here with us tonight to play two tracks from it. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
Firstly, Metal Postcard, Siouxsie and the Banshees. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |

A very powerful debut from Siouxsie and the Banshees. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
Metal Postcard and Jigsaw Feeling from Siouxsie and the Banshees. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
As you may have gathered during the series, | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Bob was pretty knocked out by The Cars when he saw them | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
in LA during the summer. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:54 | |
While he was over there, we shot this film of them | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
just prior to their gig at the Roxy. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Just a yard or two off Sunset Boulevard | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
in between the Roxy club here and the Rainbow just behind me. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
And the reason that we're here is that Cars, The Cars, are playing | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
the Roxy later on this evening and we're here to film the gig | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-and also talk with Dave and Ric. -Oh, no. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
And the reason that we're is because really | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
it's true to say at the moment that the band is very hot. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-Oh, yeah. It's hot in there. It's about 98. -Right. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
But at the same time, the band's been together | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
for a relatively short period of time. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
A year-and-a-half. A year-and-a-half. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
How did you come together? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
Well, we knew each other from other bands | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
and David being in the Modern Lovers | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
and Greg and I and Elliot were in other bands together before. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
But we just decided to make a somewhat serious effort | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
of the whole thing. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |
So we decided to put ourselves together and go on the road. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
-You recorded the album in London. -Right, we did. -Your first LP. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
I was surprised to learn that because you came in very quietly. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
Oh, yeah. We snuck in. Snuck in and snuck out. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
We were at AIR Studios. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-Recording with Roy Thomas Baker -Right. Exactly. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
And how did that association come about? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
Roy came to see us at a high-school gig in Boston | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
and he was one of the candidates or whatever | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
or one of the producers we were interested in talking to so... | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
He came and decided he wanted to do it, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
we decided the same | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
and we just wanted to go to London and do it. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
We sort of preferred to be disoriented with the whole thing | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
so we came to London. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |

One of the main things, obviously, musically, | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
that's happened in the UK over the last year, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
18 months or so, has been New Wave. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
I mean, how much has that influenced | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
what's been happening in America, David? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
-Zero. -Zero! -No. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
No, actually, every major city in this country, | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
um...you know, the big ones - | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
New York and Boston and even Atlanta, Georgia - | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
you know, do have a scene. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
You know, there's a lot of bands, you know, | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
that are springing up in all the major cities. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
And just with a new kind of energy. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
Whether it can be called Punk or New Wave, I don't know. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
It's just that there are many more bands right now | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
and a lot of them are experimenting | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
and the record companies are getting, you know...afraid. You know? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
I think of it, David, to be honest, | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
as being, like, New York, San Francisco | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
as the two major centres for the New Wave | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
and not so much Los Angeles. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
Is that true? Do you think? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
-That's probably true. -So what's the situation here in LA? | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
I don't know! I don't live here. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
I used to but, er... there wasn't much of a local scene | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
and that's what it takes to start these new bands. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-There's a lot of club bands here. -Hmm. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
But we can see the effect in lots of big cities that we go to. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
The bands, you know, they sound a lot like English New Wave bands. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
They dress like them. We think it's great. It's a positive effect. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:55 | |
It's put everything back into perspective. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
Where you don't need to be rich. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
All you need is a guitar to start a rock'n'roll band. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
That's the way it started. That's the way it should stay. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |

Bob Harris and The Cars in Los Angeles. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
And The Cars themselves are here for a tour, | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
their first in Europe, in a couple of weeks' time. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
They make their London debut at The Lyceum on the 23rd of this month. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
Now for some more bits of news. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:36 | |
Muddy Waters, who is supporting Eric Clapton's tour, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
is to headline his own gig at The Rainbow on December 8th. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
Bethnal have added a new date to their tour. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
It's at the Norwich Boogie House on November 19th. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
They've also switched their Brighton Polytechnic gig to Friday 10th. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
Eddie Money, who was due to start his European tour next week, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
has cancelled and, consequently, | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
won't be appearing on Whistle Test next Tuesday. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
Thin Lizzy, who are currently on tour in Australia, | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
entertained eight girl prisoners - | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
what you might call a captive audience - | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
who were allowed out of the Tomago Women's Prison | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
for one of their concerts | 0:21:10 | 0:21:11 | |
and afterwards went backstage to meet them. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
And, finally, Sid Vicious's mum has approached The Clash | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
about doing a benefit gig to raise money for Sid's legal fees. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
The Clash have agreed and the gig will be in early December, | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
after they complete their tour. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
It will be in London but the date and venue have not yet been fixed. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
And now a fascinating piece of film | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
believed to be the only footage ever of Steely Dan. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
It's an appropriate time to show it as their record company is releasing | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
a retrospective double album of Steely Dan's music, | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
including this early track, Reelin' In The Years. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
# Your everlasting summer | 0:22:35 | 0:22:36 | |

Steely Dan with Reelin' In The Years. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
As we are in Manchester tonight, | 0:26:49 | 0:26:50 | |
seems the right time to have John Cooper Clarke on the programme. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
He is from Manchester and first recorded on Rabid, | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
the independent Manchester label. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
I think he's one of the most interesting people to have emerged | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
over the past 18 months or so, | 0:27:01 | 0:27:02 | |
and I'm delighted that his talents are becoming more widely known. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
He's doing three numbers tonight. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
The first is I Don't Want To Be Nice. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
Here he comes now! | 0:27:16 | 0:27:17 | |
# The fast fingers, the expert's eyes | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
# And the same old "How d'you do?" | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
# Disgust is just, his dumb disguise | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
# He wants a word with you | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
# His problems are the end | 0:27:36 | 0:27:40 | |
# The mouth needs exercise | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
# The last thing I need is another friend | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
# I don't want to be nice | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
# I don't want to be nice | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
# I think it's clever to swear | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
# Better seek some sound advice | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
# Or look elsewhere | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
# Your face is an obvious case | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
# I wouldn't put it about | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
# This is neither the time or the space | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
# To sort your problems out | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
# What you see is what you get | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
# You only live twice | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
# A friend in need is a friend in debt | 0:28:21 | 0:28:25 | |
# I don't want to be nice | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
# No, we never met before | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
# I'm very happy to say | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
# Far from perfect strangers | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
# I'd like to keep it that way | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
# I'm not your psychoanalyst | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
# I'd rather talk to mice | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
# You're so easy to resist | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
# I don't want to be nice | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
# I don't want to be nice | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
# I think it's clever to swear | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
# I would seek some sound advice | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
# I would look elsewhere | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
# Your face is an obvious case | 0:29:26 | 0:29:29 | |
# I wouldn't put it about | 0:29:29 | 0:29:33 | |
# This is neither the time or the place | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
# To sort your problems out | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
# What you see is what you get | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
# You only live twice | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
# A friend in need is a friend in debt | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
# I don't want to be nice. # | 0:29:49 | 0:29:51 | |
Kung Fu International, the violins of day-to-day existence. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:30 | |
Outside the take-away Saturday night | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
A bald adolescent, asks me out for a fight | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
He was no bigger than a two-bob fart | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
He was a deft exponent of the martial arts | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
He gave me three warnings | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
Trod on me toes, stuck his fingers in my eyes | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
And kicked me in the nose | 0:30:46 | 0:30:47 | |
A rabbit punch made me eyes explode | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
My head went dead, I fell in the road | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
I pleaded for mercy, I wriggled on the ground | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
He kicked me in the balls and said something profound | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
Gave my face the millimetre tread | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
Stole me chop suey and left me for dead | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
Through rivers of blood on fractured bones | 0:31:04 | 0:31:07 | |
I crawled half a mile to the public telephone | 0:31:07 | 0:31:10 | |
I pulled the corpse out the call box held back the bile | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
And with a broken index finger I proceeded to dial | 0:31:13 | 0:31:17 | |
I couldn't get an ambulance the phone was screwed | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
The receiver fell in half it had been kung fu'd | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
A black belt karate cop opened up the door | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
Demanding information about the stiff on the floor | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
He looked like an extra from Yang Shang Po | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
He said, What's all this then? Ah so, ah so, ah so | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
He wore a bamboo mask, he was genned on zen | 0:31:35 | 0:31:38 | |
He finished his devotions and he beat me up again | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
Thanks to that embryonic Bruce Lee | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
I'm a shadow of the person that I used to be | 0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | |
I can't go back to Salford, the cops have got me marked | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
Enter the dragon, exit Johnny Clarke. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |

You may remember Mick Jagger on Whistle Test a couple of weeks ago, | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
saying he was going off to Jamaica to make a film with Peter Tosh. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
He said at the time that if it happened he'd send us a copy, | 0:35:12 | 0:35:14 | |
and sure enough, it arrived today. So here it is. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:19 | |
