Trelane and The Squires of Gothos

Starting out at a mere 14 years old, Trelane was helping out on backing vocals with Billy Childish and CTMF, and filled in on lead vocals for a Ramones number on a session for Riley and Coe's BBC6 Music show. Upon hearing what a great voice Trelane had, the group decided to try out lead vocal tracks on a few Monkees covers. Trelane came up with the group name. Further recordings are planned.

The following text features on the back sleeve of the group's debut 7"....

We first met Trelane in 2267 AD whilst
on a supply mission to the Beta VI colony.

Trelane was young, courageous, dressed
in calf length moccasins - claimed to be the ex-property of one Peter Tork
-  a stupidly long-fringed cowboy jacket
and 'hip' pants.

'You cats dig The Monkees?' Quired
Trelane.

'Of course,' we replied.

 'Groovy,' laughed Trelane, 'I name you cats
The Squires of Gothos. Got a harpsichord?'

'No, sorry.'

'Don’t worry, I'll conjure one up - and
here's a studio. Now for Pete's sake stop fooling around and let's record!'

And so it was, and here is the result.
Dig!!!
