Thanks.

My mate seems to be raving about the first two albums but he's looking to hear more too.

All I really know is "Backstreet Love", the hit. And that Sonja K was something of a foxtress back in the day.

Think I saw Babe Ruth on one of those Whistle Test comps they occasionally show in the early hours on BBC4.


Yes they were on one of those fairly recently.

Sonja K, having the Grace Slick vocal gene, can be a bit Toyah-tastic and there are odd moments where she sounds like Patti Smith too. I only ever saw them once, opening for Quo at Cardiff Castle with Stuart Copeland playing drums IIRC. They were alright. Not as good as Budgie though who coped a little better having only half a PA to work with. If you play the Curved Air Live album and listen to it from the wrong side of a closed door and with a couple of cushions taped to your head then that is more or less what they sounded like from the middle of a field.
