One of Solid Action’s first gigs was at the Memorial Park. Karl Shale joined Aching Tongue<\/b>, and then Colourfield<\/b>. They were featured on Sent From Coventry album 1979<\/p>\n

From Martin Bowes <\/b>Alternative Sounds<\/i> c 1979<\/p>\n

” Solid Action was a young group – average age 16. Message from a Loner <\/i>was one of 2 tracks recorded as a demo – the other was Flower Game<\/i> and as this demo was superior to their subsequent recording of Message From a Loner<\/i> for the Sent From Coventry album, this was the one that was used.The track was written by Karl, supposedly inspired by a poster of Siouxie and the Banshees.<\/b><\/p>\n

Solid Action played throughout 1979, having a good following amoungst young people (and the not so young) kids by the end. This track is a good example of their brilliance. Rich’s brother is in the Flys<\/b>. They split up end of 1979.”<\/span>
