Armstrong formed Local Heroes SW9 in 1980. They released “Drip Dry Zone” on Oval Records that year, and this ‘half album’ was their final release. Thomas Dolby played keyboards on two tracks; Armstrong would return the favor several years later, playing guitar on Dolby’s first two albums.</p><p>“New Opium” was prickly, shimmery <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/PostPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostPunk</span></a>, political, didactic, but with a light touch and, dare I say, optimism. The title track flirts with dub, not unlike what <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/JahWobble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JahWobble</span></a> would bring to his future projects on Oval.</p><p>A streaming compilation, “Drip Dry Zone &amp; New Opium” was released in 2008. With audible surface noise at some points, this has to be a straight vinyl rip; to my knowledge, neither has ever been mastered for CD, nor has the vinyl been reissued.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNtEzj9pjJM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=RNtEzj9pjJ</span><span class="invisible">M</span></a></p>
IanMoore3000<p>If you had told me two months ago that I would be going to a gig featuring Katie Puckrik of The Word fronting a band including Glenn Matlock of the Sex Pistols and Clem Burke of Blondie as they perfomed the songs of Iggy Pop&#39;s <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/LustForLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LustForLife</span></a> album would have said you were insane... yet there I was.
