The Spitfire Boys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spitfire Boys were the first Liverpool punk band to release a single ("British Refugee" c/w "Mein Kampf"). The Spitfire Boys were mainly notable for including in their line-up Budgie (aka Pete Clarke), who went on to drum for The Slits and later Siouxsie & the Banshees (as well as marrying Siouxsie of the Banshees), and Paul Rutherford, later better known for being a member of 1980's pop band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Jones (aka guitarist David Littler) went on to join The Photons which included Steve Strange (Visage) and Vince Ely (Psychedelic Furs). The band recently (July 2006) had British Refugee re-released on a Korova Records Compilation album entitled 'North by Northwest' which was compiled by Paul Morley.
