From a November 1988 Bristol Evening Post item about Automatic Dlamini's tour of Poland and Germany



(John Parish went by "Scott Tracey"? Articles about the band were rather confusing until I realized this...)

Very good! I'd forgotten about John P's pseudonym but now you mention it I do remember reading it somewhere. Wasn't it because of his perceived resemblance to the puppet character?

This picture comes from a time when to do a collage of that kind you had to physically cut out bits of paper. Might this be Maria's work?

i don't remember seeing the photo displayed before:

Another Automatic Dlamini pic from the Bristol Evening Post, this one from January 1990

New picture (I think? She kind of poses the same most of the time so sometimes it's hard to tell) appearing on PJ Harvey playlists on Apple Music (i.e. Essentials / Influences / Deep Cuts / Inspired By)

Yes, that Apple Music Essentials picture looks to be from the same recent Steve Gillick sessions.

30 years today since ROM was released apparently.

Hot darn 30!

Thinking about it, what happenned to Stephen Vaughan? I wonder how he's doing, he was a really good bassist.
