― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Thursday, 9 December 2021 13:25 (four years ago)

Oh fuck. RIP Steve. Had no idea he was from Glasgow, therefore Bronski Beat was a Scottish band!

― When Smeato Met Moaty (Tom D.), Thursday, 9 December 2021 13:32 (four years ago)

Damn, a lot of musical losses recently. Barry Harris was the last of the pioneering Detroit piano triumvirate, following Hank Jones and Tommy Flanagan into bop valhalla.

― Briania, Thursday, 9 December 2021 13:57 (four years ago)

The singer left to form The Communards but Bronski Beat continued, reaching the top 10 again with Hit That Perfect Beat in November 1985.

terrible of me but I've got no memory of this and assumed they'd split up after Somerville left them.

― calzino, Thursday, 9 December 2021 14:02 (four years ago)

Briania otm, but KIrk Lightsey is still with us and going strong.

― tvod+ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 December 2021 14:31 (four years ago)

I don't think I've heard Barry Harris but it seems he was an OG bebop master and people who he taught speak very highly of him. RIP

― calzino, Thursday, 9 December 2021 14:40 (four years ago)

RIP Steve. Still my favourite version of Smalltown Boy

― groovypanda, Thursday, 9 December 2021 14:55 (four years ago)

"Hit That Perfect Beat" is my favourite Bronski Beat single, I always thought it a real shame they fizzled out afterwards. RIP Steve

Chris Achilleos, artist and book illustrator. Mainly worked in SF and probably the most famous cover artist of the Target Doctor Who line.

(No official sources as yet but several well-placed ones)

― Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Thursday, 9 December 2021 18:50 (four years ago)

Achilleos created the controversial cover for Whitesnake's 1979 album, Lovehunter, which showed a naked woman straddling a giant serpent. In an interview with MelodicRock, Gary Hughes stated that Achilleos thereafter "had a policy of not working with bands".[9]

I'm very sad about Mike Nesmith, but at least he won't have to suffer through a boat ride with Mike Love and Joe Piscopo.

So the last one standing is the one who looks the most like an actual monkey. Seems fitting.
