Frenzy (8)

Frenzy were originally formed in 1973 by Tommy Peebles in Clydebank,West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, where they all went to Clydebank High School and were initially a pop cover band. One of their original songs, 'Poser', was heard by London record boss, Dick James. He signed them to his DJM label and in late 1975 'Poser' / 'Things You Do To Me' reached number #65 in the UK charts. In early 1976 a follow-up single 'Lady of Spain' was recorded at DJM in Oxford Street, London. Frenzy were not happy about the very poppy direction Dick James was pushing them in and as a result the second single was not released and the band's style was now following the emerging New Wave. With no management or label they toured extensively until 1978 when a major line–up change forced Moir and Paterson to rename the new line-up 'The Models'.
