The Vibrators story actually starts in the sixties with a young musical Knox (real name Ian Carnochan)
I was in a band called the Renegades when I was a little kid, right, and we all wore black shirts and sunglasses. About 1961/2 Knox was Knox and the Nightriders doing Cliff Richard and Shadows numbers and even beating the Zombies in a talent contest! After that several bands followed including Stilletto, Lipstick - a three piece with a girl bassist - and lastly an Irish show band with a strange Nazi transvestite jazz organist in a gay bar in Hammersmith!
