THE CIVILIANS

An early recording project of Tim Rich and Danny Goring. Songs included the anti-Reaganite tirade 'The Puppet' (more relevant to George W Bush) and the Jam-like 'Suburbia' (pre-Pet Shop Boys!) Honorary 'third' Civilian was Martin Goodsell who helped with recordings (pushed 'pause' buttons etc) Rob Hill joined briefly on keyboards and the band became more synth-based, eventually changing its name to Fixation Process but it never got beyond the rehearsal room stage.
