Song Of the Day: August 17, 2005


High on the list of our favorite Sarahs is #28. This typically heartsick, atypically frantic single suggested that Action Painting should be able to produce a discography at least as extensive as that of the Orchids or the Field Mice, but sadly, it was not to be. The name Action Painting is probably a nod to the Creation, who used to burn canvasses as part of their act.

Really?!?! How does one get that gig? Was there an actual band, or was he just a session guy? I don't know much about Shampoo, they didn't fare too well over here, but I sorta thought it was just the two girls...

Lee Christopher was in Shampoo as a jobbing bass player - got on TOTP in U.K.
He got that role by tarting himself around in the right circles and by having the right 'look'.
He was by no means the creative/musical/artistic force behind Action Painting! but did make them better to look at.
