(c’84-’85) Karl Selfe (vocals / percussion), Phil Bushen (bass), Duncan “Du Kane” Elder (guitar) and David Howick (drums).
In the ’80’s, the landlord of The Cranley Hotel, Cranleigh appealed for live bands to play the venue in a number of local music columns, Flow Motion responded playing The Cranley many times c’83/84. The band recorded four tracks: “Shadows of the Past”, “Flow Motion”, “Some Changes”, and “Sense of Direction” in July ’84. These were then released on their eponymous cassette EP demo. The band were still gigging locally as of ’85, including at The Royal, Guildford on 1 February ’85 supported by Siere Novar.
The band had a friendly rivalry with Parallel Motion, and Elder, Bushen, and Howick would later join forces with Parallel vocalist Anna-Lucy Torjussen and Ian “Scampi” Fullwood in ’85 to form Yellow Lifetime. This group went on to became Lax Lifetime in July ’87, morphing again in ’88 to become Fab Daze.
In ’89 Kane went on to form Beautiful People. He also spent time as a contributing editor for Front magazine and ran session recording outfit Replicant. With David Maskrey, Kane can now be seen in The Shakespearos, along with The Vapors‘ Steve Smith, mostly gigging in the Worthing area.
