Motivation



No definitive biog yet but Colin Robinson remembers:

"The band was put together in the early 1980s by ex-Buzzcocks bass player Steve Garvey.

The line-up was:
Steve Garvey - bass, ex-Buzzcocks
Dave Rowbotham - guitar, ex-Durutti Column, ex-Mothmen ("Cowboy Dave", as featured in a Happy Mondays song)
Snuff - drums (later in Distant Cousins I think)
A vocalist whose name I can't remember

The band gigged around South Manchester - Andy Hieke and Colin Robinson from Night Visitors were their sound engineers.

Steve and the vocalist emigrated to New York around 1983. Steve now lives in Pennsylvania and has a recording studio.
Dave Rowbotham was killed in Manchester sometime during the 1990s." (Submitted 12.05.07)
