The Lucys were a new wave British band formed in the Brixton district of London in 1978, much around the same time as Scritti Politti, The Clash and The Thompson Twins. The group overtime consisted of Joanne Melvin (vocals), Anne Paley (bass/vocals, she was formerly member of Period and went under the name of Anna Dinn), Dee Berwick (percussion/vocals), Pete Boyse (guitar/vocals), Colin McMahon (bass/vocals), Pete Drew (drums/vocals). The group during their time toured with The Au Pairs and The Thompson Twins.
Links to Peel[]
The band caught the ear of John Peel and his producer John Walters. They were suitably impressed enough with their demo to drag them into the studios at Bush House where they recorded four tracks on March 3rd, 1981 and broadcast several days later. Peel even went as far as airing an appeal to any record label worth its salt to sign the band. They did get a bite from Cherry Red Records – and over a period of time recorded a full albums worth of tracks, but the deal fell through and the band ultimately split up.
