The Kamikaze Sex Pilots/The Kamikaze Pilots
Last week the topic of non-main street indie girl groups came up with the
discussion of The Chefs and the mentioning of the likes of Kleenex and
Trixies Big Red Motorbike.
Today, let me ask about one of the more obscure groups, no, not The Fire
Hydrant Men Featuring The Fabulous Fezettes, but rather The Kamikaze Sex
Pilots/The Kamikaze Pilots! Now what was their deal? I’ve got two singles
by them: Dark Night of Soul b/w Red Indian Song (Lowther HCN002 1983) and
Sharon Signs to Cherry Red b/w It Goes Boing (Lowther HCN003, 1985) as well
as a fabulous track entitled “Sharon’s Been Deflowered” on the Obscure
Independent Classics Volume 1 (Cordelia ERICAT003 1984). Did they release
anything else? Where were they from? What else came out on Lowther
International Records?
Next time I'll ask about the Calloways great single "Slouching Off to
Kalamazoo" from 1984 on the Wonderful World of Records label!
