The Scrotum Poles

Basically The Scrotum Poles were a punk / DIY band from Dundee, Scotland, in the style of the Television Personalities and had one single -'Revelation' (self-funded)- which sold about a thousand copies. The group amassed a small but vocal following around Tayside and split up in 1981. Band members went on to play in Pigs are Cute / AAGA / Synthetic Dreams and The Summerbees (featuring Red Snapper and Beth Orton bassist Ali Friend). Incidentally bass player Steve Grimmond went on to be Director of Music and Art and Cultural Services at Dundee District Council. [SOURCE: PUNK77]
