About Writz
Formed out folk rock band Fish Co in 1978, Writz was Steve Fairnie (deceased 1993) and Bev Sage on vocals and stage romps, Steve Rowles vocals/on guitar, Nick Battle (ex After The Fire) on bass, Arry Axel on drums and Jules Hardwick on lead guitar. They had huge success on the pub and club scene with their highly visual act. They only had minor recording hits with single 'Night Nurse' in 1979'. Changed their name to Famous Names in 1980 and released singles 'Holiday Romance' and later 'Venetian Blind.' They toured extensively in the UK including with the renowned Circus Tour which included fire eaters and female wrestlers and was accompanied by robotic techno duo Shock . The band later morphed into the Techno Twins (Fairnie and Sage) and Casualtease (a blend of tongue in cheek performance art bandaged around classic Writz songs).
