Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
THE ORIGINAL CITIZEN IF WAS FORMED BY TWO SCHOOL FRIENDS IN AROUND 1973 IN BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND,. STEVE ROBERTS AND KEITH WILD. LISTENING TO BANDS LIKE BLACK SABBATH AND PINK FLOYD. AFTER PLAYING THE BIRMINGHAM CIRCUIT UNDER VARIOUS NAMES, THEY RE-FORMED AS A PUNK BAND IN 77. THEN IN 1980 RE-FORMED AGAIN AS A NEW ROMANTIC BAND WHICH WAS GREAT FUN DRESSING UP HAVING A LAUGH AND PULLING LOTS OF BIRDS, RUBBING SHOULDERS WITH THE LIKES OF DURAN DURAN IN THE RUM RUNNER. WE RE-FORMED AGAIN AS A NEW WAVE ROCK BAND, THIS WAS OUR BEST PERIOD. MAKING GOOD MUSIC AND EVEN BETTER RECORDINGS.
