In 1976 one of the earliest Liverpool cult 
band was formed under the name of O’Boogie Brothers (1976-1977, a.k.a. O’Boogie Boys). It included Ian Broudie (guitars, later Big in Japan, Original Mirrors), Frazer Henry (guitar, later engineer at Amazon Studio), Jon Moss (drums), David Knvopov (vocals, later Hambi & the Dance, Knopov’s Political Package, also collaborated with ex Teardrop Explodes’ Mick Finkler), and Nathan McGough (vocals, later Royal Family and The Poor, Pale Fountains) and Ambrose Reynolds (later Big in Japan, Nightmare in Wax, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Pink Military, Pink Industry). Another minor act was alive in those days: Fox Glove, consisting of Colin Frost (vocal, guitars, later Eat at Joe’s, Tutors, Supercharge, Circus Circus, Laughing Freeman), Les Rodgers (bass, later Eat at Joe’s and Tutors, with Frost) and Wayne Hussey (guitars, later Hambi and the Dance, Knopov’s Political Package, Invisible Girls, Dead or Alive, Sisters of Mercy, Mission). After the split of both bands, Hussey joined Reynolds, Moss and Knopov’s, and together with Denise D’Arcy (a.k.a. Denyze D’Arcy, vocals, sax, later Zale Out, Fragile Friends, Dee Dee & the Dots) and Dave Wibley (a.k.a. Dave Wibberley, guitar, later Fire, Evad-Flab) they formed the Deed Byrds. In June 1978 the band changed their name to Walkie Talkies. In September 1979 the band released their first and only vinyl release:

In November 1979 the band split and all its members found (relative) fame and fortune in other Liverpool-based acts.
One of the many spin-offs was represented by Evadflab (a.k.a. Evad Flab, curiously enough similar to the reverse spelling of Balfe Dave) formed by Dave Whibberley, Ambrose Reynolds, Dave Dickie and Cozzy in 1981 specially for the ATV-documentary Jay Walking (April 12, 1981). The group only performed two songs (See the Light, and Start Smiling) at Whibberley’s old school. None of the songs was to be released on vinyl.
