(c’82-’84) Chris Murphy (guitar), Jason Tanner (guitar), Andy Morton (bass) and Andy Woodruff (drums).

This four piece took their name from The Stranglers song ‘Goodbye Toulouse’ and did a cover of ‘Prince of the Streets’, as well as showing influence from XTC and The Police. The band put out a demo cassette carrying “Small Town” and “Casualty”. The band played The Cricketers, Westfield on 18 November or 12 December ’82 supported by XLR8. They returned to the venue on 10 February ’83, again with XLR8 in support.

Morton’s bass ended up with Five O’Clock High‘s Michael Bailey.
