Deaf School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deaf School was a late 1970s band from Liverpool, UK. Their style was somewhere in between pub rock, punk and art rock. They disbanded after their third album. Their members carried on in music business; singer Bette Bright went solo, Clive Langer became a producer, Steve Lindsey formed the band The Planets, Enrico Cadillac (real name: Steve Allen) joined Ian Broudie (former member of Big In Japan) to form the Original Mirrors.
In the late 1980s, almost all former Deaf School members reunited for live dates and an album, "2nd Coming", featuring live versions of their best songs from the 70s albums.
In May 2006, Deaf School re-formed for a couple of live-gigs, among them a concert at the The Picket venue in Liverpool when it re-opened on May 27th.
