The Swing Club didn't follow local music trends, they took their own path, even although it seemed to lead to a kind of time-warp destination.
The sound they created was a bit like Aztec Camera's styling but trapped in the Savoy in 40's London!
The Swing Club line-up... Forrey Rosscraig (ex Quick Spurts) lead vocal - Martin Lowe, guitar - Roberto Soave, bass - Ewan Parry, drums.
They played at the places like the Tayside Bar, Barney's in St Andrews and their gig at Teazers was actually as support to Aztec Camera.
At the end of 1983 however, Martin and Roberto had trial workouts with Billy Mackenzie, with Roberto then ending up joining The Associates going onto record and tour with them.
Roberto, after that, even landed a job as bass player for The Cure for a short while.
The track below is a 1983 demo, and it's not as polished as a proper big production would be, but it's good enough to hear how their own unique approach sounded.
The song is titled "All I Ever Do (Is Dream Of You).
