Six Sed Red
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Six Sed Red were an electronic duo active in the mid-1980s.
The group was founded by keyboard player Rick Holliday from the group B-Movie and New York "singer" Cindy Ecstasy who had featured on the Soft Cell hit "Torch" in 1982 although Marc Almond has since stated that her primary function was the supply of ecstasy.
Six Sed Red shared Soft Cell's lyrical pre-occupations with sleaze and sexual titillation but not their commercial success. Their only brush with the charts was the cover of their song "Dream Baby" on Bananarama's self-titled LP in 1984.
The band played concerts at London's Skin 2 fetish club and with the patronage of Sigue Sigue Sputnik 's Tony James expanded the line up in 1987. Recognition however continued to elude them.
