You may recall this disturbing find from hrrundivbakshi.
It turns out The Hello People were not the only band employing the use of mime in rock ‘n roll. If you’re a regular to the Halls of Rock, I’m sure you know about David Bowie‘s formal mime training. You’ve probably seen this clip.
A young David Jones, miming his way to Bowie.
Or one of these.

People! I ask you — no, I beg you — to watch the above video, starting at around 1:00, and observe until the end. Take a moment to formulate an opinion, free of bias. Once you think you know how you FEEL about this rock combo, please head out to the following web address to learn a bit of back story about the band in question:

At the end of this long journey of discovery, please tell us what you think of the band in focus, both pre- and post-backstory. Speaking for myself, I can honestly say I have never experienced a performance that so completely filled me with equal portions of seething hatred and earnest enjoyment. I am in such deep spiritual torment I think I ought to check myself into a monastery, or a loony bin, or something. This band has completely shaken my faith in everything.
I look forward to your responses, and… help!
HVB
