Wicked Kitchen Staff

Wicked Kitchen Staff existed in its original form during 1982-83. They were a core of 6 people, Tim on bass (plus violin on the album), Steve on drums, Finn Panton on guitar, Andrew Kort on sax, Jeremy Richardson on synth, and Russell Higgs on vocals and re-distribution of shoplifted goods among their audiences. The 1983 album 'Debbie Grills Pulls Her Socks Up', were performed by the original Wicked Kitchen Staff core of 6 people, plus added vocals from Laura and added percussion from Mick. During live performances Wicked Kitchen Staff always offered anyone from their audiences an invitation to pick up an instrument (or some object) and come on stage and join in the music making. Wicked Kitchen Staff had a reputation for distributing food and pamphlets and shoplifted gifts to their audiences. The band's founder member Russell Shaw Higgs quit the band not long after the album was released. [SOURCE: LAST.FM]
