The Fizzbombs


The Fizzbombs were a short lived Edinburgh band who consisted of Katy McCullars on vocals, Margarita Vasquez-Ponte (Jesse Garon And The Desperadoes / Rote Kapelle) on guitar / backing vocals, Angus McPake (Jesse Garon And The Desperadoes) on drums and Ann Donald (Shop Assistants) on bass. The band existed between 1987 and 1989. 

That line-up released the 7″ single 'Sign On The Line b/w The Words That' (Nardonik, 1987) and they also released a track called "You Worry Me" on the 'Wild Rumpus' Flexi Disc (1987). McCullars and Donald left the band joining The Secret Goldfish. Sarah Kneale (ex The Shop Assistants) joined on bass with Vasquez-Ponte on vocals. In 1988 this line up released 'The Surfin Winter EP' on Calcalus Records and they also recorded a session for Janice Long ("Blue Summer" / "Cherry Cherry" / "Not As Simple As That" / "Beach Party") in the same year. 

There were 7″ and 12″ versions of the EP with the 12″ containing a different version of the lead track "Surfaround", a cover of Neil Diamond’s "Cherry Cherry" and another track called "Test Pilot". The other tracks were "Blue Summer" and "Beach Party" which also featured on the 7″ version of the single which included the other mix of "Surfaround". 

The band split when Vasquez-Ponte along with Kneale joined the re-formed Shop Assistants during their Avalanche Records period (1989/90). [SOURCE: LAST.FM]
