The Zodiacs

Hello, I'm Mark Broughton, bassist with The Zodiacs. We formed in 1984 as a very gloomy band called Atrophy. My best friend Phil Brown was the guitar player and Robert Daubney, whom we had recently met, was originally on vocals. There was an incredibly basic drum machine as well. We were fairly terrible as Atrophy. Phil could play well, but I couldn't play, and Rob couldn't sing. We had a song called Rosemary's Garden, which started with the lines "Why do the flowers look so strange, in Rosemary's Garden?" You get the idea. Anyway, Atrophy never made it out of our bedrooms, which was a good thing. The Zodiacs started in early 1985. Somehow we had morphed into a Rockabilly band, of sorts. Phil had replaced Rob on vocals, and Rob had become the drummer. More to follow!
