" Storm says: 'A band from the 80s consisting of three very different characters – Steve Ellis, white from up north, Nick Beggs, lately of Kajagoogoo, white from down south, and Austin Howard, black from London but born in Jamaica. We devised three such totems or masks (for the three band members) that Keith Breeden (Scritti Politti, the Mission, ABC) proceeded to make from old boilers and motorbike parts – contemporary sculptures from scrap metal, suggestive of both modernity and ethnicity."
