Billy Synth started his musical adventure in the 70′s when he bought his Arp Odyssey synthesizer. He first had a group called Blue Ice, and they recorded one 7″. Then, when “new wave” came along, he liked it and left Blue Ice to form a more punk-like band, the Janitors. That didn’t last long, really, even though they did release a few EPs… After a year or so, he got back together with Blue Ice (with new drummer Joe Gear). They had already “gone punk” themselves and changed their name to the Turn Ups, so it was all-cool again. When they recorded there first LP, it was like Stevinyl-guitar, Billy-synth, etc., and that’s how I got the name. Read more on Last.fm.
