NEW! Tongue-in-cheek interview (pdf) from Brighton Voice (1979)

"Don't aerosol that sweaty pit Lillette lyric from the song So They Say (1978) Formed in 1978. Barb, Phil and Mick wrote the words to the songs and everyone wrote the music, as and when. Phil, Mick & Dave played in the Flesh in the early days of punk back in 1977. Drummer Tim came from a kind of folk band called Biggles. We should've realised then. He couldn't play much and had virtually no kit, so he was our man. We wanted to mould him in our own image. Subvert him. The Lillettes featured on the second Attrix Records album Vaultage 79, with the songs Hey Operator and Nervous Wreck. These tracks were released on CD in 1997 to celebrate twenty years of punk music, titled The Vaultage Punk Collection, on Cherry Red Records. The CD also features all the other Vaultage bands. |
 Mick and Barb: Barb had never sung in a band before but was ready and able and willing. |
