Das Psych-Oh! Rangers

Signed to ZTT Record label, and appeared on The Tube C4 television show performing two songs live in 1986, with both tracks taken from their one and only single for ZTT. They were furious at the pointless and expensive remixes ZTT's in house engineer Steve Lipson was making with their follow up single Power Station (recording costs are recoupable from the band); Frankie Goes To Hollywood had suffered a similar fate with their second album, and Propaganda and others had similar issues with ZTT. They were released from ZTT just prior to the Holly Johnson (FGTH) court case that was successful against Trevor Horn and Jill Sinclair of ZTT, and the Power Station single was never released. Band altered their name slightly to Das Psycho Rangers for future release on their manager's Stress Label. Band members at various times included Be Deckard (real name Umberto Rozzo) vocals, Troy Tempest (guitar), Jules Von Vleet (Julian Wright) bass and piano, Che Atlas (drums 1986), Steve Honest (bass, keyboards 1986), Kathy-Anne Joseph (backing vocals 1986), Darren Edwards (drums 1987-1988). One radio session was recorded on 03DEC86 for BBC Radio One Janice Long Show - as yet not released. Songs are Homage To The Blessed, Power Station, Intellectual Gangsters, Medea Tearorists.
