PIGGY BANK
RECORDS
Independent label: Piggy Bank
Records was a sub-label of A&M Records. The Lucy Show was a rock/New Wave
band that was formed in London, in early 1983. The band was formed by Mark
Bandola (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Rob Vandeven (vocals, bass), with Pete
Barraclough (guitars, keyboards), and Bryan Hudspeth (drums). Bandola and
Vandeven, two Canadian-born friends who had moved to England in the late 1970s,
shared song writing and lead vocals equally, although the bulk of the early
(pre-album) material had been written by Vandeven. In 1983, they released their
first single, "Leonardo da Vinci," on independent record label Shout Records,
which managed to receive some airplay by John Peel. Guitarist Barraclough
provided lead vocals on the B-side of the single for his song "Kill The Beast".
In 1984, A&M Records signed the band, releasing two singles and an EP during
that year (on an off-shoot label imprint called Piggy Bank Records). Distributed
By A&M Records.
