Modern Zoo

 Modern Zoo


Modern Zoo circa 1980 - 1983


BACK TO THE BAND INDEX


Which were one of the first "electronic bands" from Coventry, who maybe had more success out of Coventry rather than in it. The Band comprised of:-

Lead vocals and Synthesisers - Stuart Knapper - ex of Riot Act.
Vocals, Bass and Synthesisers - Mark Toomer
Saxophone and Synthesisers - Ian Haines


Gigged all around Coventry, and the first to gig at "Guys" Club in lower precinct when this was changed into a Band venue for Avant Garde type Bands in the 80's

The band actually split in 1983 and was re-formed with
Mark Toomer - Keyboards and vocals
Nick Hadley - Keyboards and vocals
Ian Haines - Saxophone and Keyboards
Steve Jones - Bass

This format of the Band had a few success's with "Studio work" however split in late 1985 to take alternative directions.
