The Woodentops began 1983 with Rolo McGinty, Simon Mawby, Alice Thompson, and Paul Hookham. Known to busk and perform at South London art house warehouse type venues/parties . Rehearsing at Panni Bahrti's (then Charrington) warehouse at Clapham Junction, where the band worked until 1988. This was a hotbed of experimental film and graphic design, Panni desgining the bands vinyl / cd artwork / film and stage show.

The band progressed to conventional venues. At this time the bands electronic influences such as Kraftwerk, Can and Suicide became blurred by the band acheiving its own sound, a hybrid of hi speed hypnotic acoustic rock. Early reviews saw them as a type of Violent Femmes/ Feelies group but increasingly Rolo, the main writer, would write new kinds of song in a desire to not repeat themselves.

This never changed with record companies and reviewers finding them harder to pigeonhole.

the Woodentops recorded the first single Plenty for Food records in 1984, followed by support tours for artists such as Julian Cope and Everything But the Girl. John Peel picked the group for several BBC sessions on his show and championed the group untill his death. Frank de Freitas and Benny Staples became the definative rhythm section.

Rough Trade records signed the group, leading to a canonade of highly respected singles "Move me", "Well Well Well" and "Good Thing" . The album "Giant" saw them reaching the top 30 in the conventional charts, whereas all singles and albums attained number one spots in the independant charts. The live album "Hypnobeat Live" maintained the number one indie position for several weeks.

This live lp spawned "Why Why Why" one of the first big hits of the late 80s club scene in Ibiza. "Woodenfoot Cops on the Highway", the 2nd studio album, followed in 1987 and the band toured worldwide. Two singles from the album were released, and a final single "Tainted World" was power played on the NYC garage station by Tony Humphries.

Hypnobeat: “Mission in Congo” (Prototech, Dark Entries 2017 / 1985)

Hypnobeat’s stripped down beatmaking feels as much of 1985 as it reminds me of some of Throbbing Gristle’s extended drum machine jams. I’ve only just recently discovered them, thanks to the Prototech collection released last year on the reliable Dark Entries label.

Esta sonaba ayer en el plato de la tienda, al final de la cara B de “The Munster Dance Hall Favorites Vol. III”, afortunado contraste en un LP cargado de rock and roll, garaje y punk. “Big City-Hypnobeat” dura seis minutos y medio que podrían ser 10 o más. Como juntar la electrónica de Bruce Haack o Kraftwerk con la electricidad de Stooges o incluso Guess Who (”American Woman”). Si llegan a incluir una gaita al final hubiera sido el súmum. Plastic Eno Band.
