Red Guitars

Good Technology (1982 - 1984) Red Guitars

Collection from this '80s indie band. This CD contains all the tracks from their Slow To Fade album plus the four singles released by the original line-up on their own Self Drive Records label. Red Guitars were formed around the partnership of singer Jeremy Kidd and guitarist Hallam Lewis. Initially cutting their teeth playing benefit shows for a series of left-wing causes, Red Guitars quickly built a loyal following, before launching an assault on the charts with a series of singles via their own Self Drive Records label that would see them earn national renown. Proving an instant hit with their debut single "Good Technology", which shifted an impressive 60,000 copies on their own Self Drive Records label, they went on to top the independent charts with consecutive No.1 hits "Steeltown" and Marimba Jive". They released their seminal debut album "Slow To Fade" in 1984, but frontman Jeremy Kidd announced his departure soon after and Red Guitars ultimately disbanded completely two years later
