280.0. "Rezillos/Revillos update?" by TRCO01::MHOGAN () Fri Dec 02 1988 21:04

    
    Anyone out there know what became of the Rezillos/Revillos?  I've
    got 2 Rezillos albums that are very good. They then became the Revillos
    in '82 or '83 and released an album.  I never heard anything after
    that on them.

    I just heard from a very reliable source, that after the Rezillos
    split up - the two singers of the band formed the Revillos.
    
    The last Rezillos concert was in the Apollo in Glasgow on the 23rd
    December 1979 or 1980. They put the concert on album called Mission
    Accomplished but the Beat goes on (and my reliable source is on
    the cover!). Support act Chou Parrot, 8 encores (the REzillos that
    is), bla bla bla.
    
    The Revillos are as good as extinct.

    As I remember, the reason the Rezillos became the Revillos was
    due to contractual problems with the record company.   To get out
    of the mess they found themselves in, they changed record companies
    and changed name.   Weren't they from Edinburgh or am I getting
    confused ??

    The band (REVILLOS) effectively split with Simon Templar, Jo Callis and
    Angel Patterson forming SHAKE and Eugene Reynolds and Fay Fife starting
    the REZILLOS. Record company agro (SIRE records) was the cause of the
    name change - to get out of SIRE they had to change then name to
    REVILLOS.

    PS - Rezillos were originally The Knutsford Dominators

    I have the 2 Rezillos LPs and a couple of singles and also the 2
    Revillos LPs plus assorted singles and really wish there had been
    more. I had a tough time finding their stuff where I am (near
    Boston, in the USA) and feel lucky to have even discovered them.

    The last time I saw Jo Callis' name it was on the back of a Human
    League LP. Don't have any idea where he or any of the others are now.

    I have only got "Destination Venus" by the Rezillos on 7" single.
    I heard the live album "Mission Accomplished", but the quality of
    the recording was appalling.
    
    It was a shame they split though.
