The Motorcycle Boy - Here She Comes

The origins of the Motorcycle Boy go back to Scotland 1985 when a band named after a Fire Engines b-side were formed - Meat Whiplash.

They signed to Creation Records releasing one single for that label (which was produced by The Jesus & Mary Chain). In 1987 the band recruited vocalist Alex Taylor from The Shop Assistants and changed their name to The Motorcycle Boy (from a character in the movie Rumblefish).

They signed to Rough Trade releasing one single for that label before signing to Chrysalis releasing two singles. An album titled Scarlet was recorded but was never released and after the band were dumped by Chrysalis they moved onto Nymphaea Pink Sensation releasing another couple of singles before calling it a day in 1990.

Taylor and Eddy Connolly then jumped on the indie dance bandwagon as One Note Jam releasing one single titled Warp Eight in Electraglide (Only You) before vanishing from pop history.

These tracks are from the bands last ever single. It was released on Nymphaea Pink Sensation (NPS002) in 1990.
