Win

Following the Fire Motors folded on New Year’s Eve 1981, Davey Henderson formed Heartbeat with former Flower singer Hilary Morrison, launching just one single track, on a fresh Musical Express cassette. By middle-1984, he was dealing with previous Dirty Reds and Fireplace Motors member Russell Burn off (drums) once again, linking with Ian Stoddart from Everest The Hard Method to form Gain in his indigenous Edinburgh. Right away they won One FROM THE Week awards making use of their debut for London Information, ‘You’ve Got The Power’. Live, they performed marketing jingles between music, and properly ‘You’ve Got The Power’ was found in a tv marketing campaign by McEwans lager. With apparent irony, the music group’s lyrics talked about mass media conversation, paranoia and conspiracy. Following its discharge Win had been augmented by key pad participant Will Perry (cousin of Andy Stewart), bass participant Manny and guitarist/support vocalist Simon Smeeton. Similar to the Fireplace Motors before them, Gain proved too simple to procure a mainstream market, splitting in 1990. THE BRAND NEW Musical Express was among the many documents that mourned their moving: ‘(they)… should be both happy and guilty in the data that they produced a number of the very best pop never noticed’. Henderson continued to create the acclaimed art-rock music group, Nectarine No.9. Stoddart became a member of the ill-fated Apples before signing up for Captain Shifty. Manny became a member of Jive Information recording performers Yo Yo Honey, while Russell Burns up documented for Creation Information beneath the Pie Finger mantle.
