the riot squad
Info from "Shiborugu" : I bet nobody here knew David Bowie played in a band called "the Riot Squad" in the mid-late 60's that covered "It Can't Happen Here", "Who Are The Brain Police" among others....
February 2004, Shiborugu added:
David Bowie's band: The riot squad:
(This is all from "the complete David Bowie", and I haven't read it in
ages..)
The Riot Squad was a band that Bowie joined in 66/67 as a sax player/singer (I
think). They were a typical garage band, but Bowie got them doing stuff nobody
else was, notibly incorperating mime into the show. They also played a few
covers, like The Velvet Undergrounds "Waiting for the man" and Frank
Zappa's "It can't happen here". Bowie said something to the effect of
"it didn't go over too well.. Frank's stuff was pretty much unknown at the
time.."
More if I can remember/get ahold of info.
