(c’90-92) John Edwards (synths / programming), and Stu Heather (vocals).
This Ash Vale / Farnborough duo, who shared a love of electronica and “robot dance”, met at Allhallows School and were both in Explodehead. When Explodehead ended in ’90, Edwards and Heather pursued the 70s/early 80s electronic pop style of Kraftwerk, OMD, Human League and early Depeche Mode to form EIP’s sound.
They did 11 gigs, mostly at The George, Ash Vale; but also at the Technical College Farnborough and The Cube, Camberley. To date we have confirmed two appearances: on 6 February ’91 the band were at The George, then on 14 April ’91, EIP performed at the The White Hart, Frimley. Five of the bands 18 songs were recorded, including “Marionette” which appeared on Farnborough Groove Vol.1 in ’91.
When the duo split Edwards went off and joined Girls on Dextrose and Heather joined Peachrazor.
