BIOGRAPHY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

      With a career that's now in its twentieth year you can bet your bottom dollar that the history of the Vibrators is a long and colourful story. However rather than write a book on 'Troops Of Tomorrow' we'll stick to the facts of the band's long and successfull career.

      Vocalist /guitarist Ian 'Knox' Carnochan, bassist Pat Collier, guitarist John Ellis and drummer Eddie originally formed the Vibrators in February 1976, and their first gig was supporting The Stranglers at Hornsey Art College in North London. They supported The Sex Pistols at the 100 Club and were one of the bands playing at the now legendary 100 club Punk Rock Festival, where as well as doing their own set they supported guitar hero Chris Spedding. Chris recommended the band to his then record company, Rak. The band's debut single "We Vibrate" came out in November - one of the first punk singles- and was followed two weeks later by Chris Spedding's "Pogo Dancing" single with the Vibrators as the band on that. A planned third single "Bad Time"/"No Heart" was recorded but not issued as the band moved instead to Epic Records.
