Tokyo Blade
Vocals: Alan Marsh Guitars: Andy Boulton & John Wiggins Bass: Andy Robbins Drums: Steve Pierce The above lineup was taken from the back of a Spanish Tokyo Blade LP I have. As my Spanish is pretty nonexistent I may very well have translated this all wrong! Please let me know if it is incorrect in any way and I will correct it!!
This was one of Andy Robbins' previous two bands, both of which I know almost nothing about! The other band was Shogun. Tokyo Blade had an album out in 1984 called "Midnight Rendezvous" which featured Andy on it (check out the picture on the back of the album!) Andy also featured on the Shogun single "Voices From The Heart".
Thanks to Daiv for supplying the following information: The album Midnight Rendezvous is an edited version of the UK album, which was self titled over here (UK). A single was released from this called Powergame. He also played on the demos when they were called Killer. Shogun history is a bit muddled, but I think Andy Robbins played on their self titled first album, as well as a single, a cover version of Amen Corners 'High In The Sky'.
