RHYTHM SISTERS
When Jane Solanas came up with the classic NME quote. ‘Debbi and Mandi are twenty and nineteen years old. which hardly classes them as teenagers.‘ she may not have been as misguided as it appears at tirst.
While one ol the Laek sisters. born and brought up in Leeds with brother. guitarist and manager. Billy. may technically be classitied a teenager. their music and attitudes have nothing in common with Tiltany or Debbie Gibson.
This is where theiriirst record company. Chrysalis. made a major mistake. Having signed the band atthe end ol1986 on the basis ol 3 WDMAD appearance. Chrysalis set about marketing them as a girlie pop act. and entered them tor the Eurovision Song Contest. When eventually Chrysalis got round totelling the Sisters oltheir plan. the contract was terminated, and iortunately the Rhythm Sisters came outol itwell.
‘There were no hard teelings when we Ieit Chrysalis.‘ said Debbi. ‘and we had quite a lot at money lett from the deal. so rather than let it waste away we decided to just get on and record an album.‘
This was done independently. the result being the rather tine debut. The Road To Roundhay Pier. which was released at the end oi last year. The album was a collection of simple songs. described as songs which ‘were composed in the classrooms and the bedrooms oi Leeds 8. Observations

Most eitective songs on the album were the recent single. American Boys and Henry's Married Daughter. 3 song which was perlormed on their ore-Christmas sloton Channel 4's Famous For Fitteen Minutes. The a cappella track. Happy Days Lonely Nights. showed ott theirvocal capabilities, while Debbi reckons her tavourite trom the record is Saturday/Sunday Lazy Leeds Alternoons.
Since Christmas. things have continued to happen at a reasonable pace iorthe band. tor apart from being proclaimed asthe iuture otteminism in pop by the NME, they have also had the rare privilege at a double page teature inthe Sunday Times magazine.
They play Fury Murrys on 19 April, and should otter an intimate set based on a healthy songwriting ability. The addition at some new songs should make this a well worth a visit— and an added attraction is the strong support act inthe torm otthe Indian Givers.
