Emerging from the early 80s Liverpool sound, FGTH followed the fairy tale popstar life: after a few years of small shows in and around Liverpool, FGTH were signed up to [Trevor Horn]?'s new ZTT record label after a raw video for the song Relax was shown on music programme The Tube. Remixes by the barrowload soon followed, creating the market for extended 12" versions followed ever since. A Frankie T Shirt was the fashion statement in 1984, with a number of different versions based around the famous [Katherine Hamnett]? Ban Nuclear Weapons NOW : "Frankie Say Relax Don't Do It", "Frankie Say War Hide Yourself", "Frankie Say Arm The Unemployed". (T shirts with "Frankie Says" - were fakes...). Contrary to popular belief, Frankie could play their instruments, as two world tours testified, and also only two of the band, Holly and Paul were actually gay. |
