In The Occupied Territory

By FinHall

I can hear the grass grow

When is a car not a car?
When it's a lawn.
This night time photograph does not show how this little car really looks.
It is covered in grass.
Not your Mary Jane type grass, but artificial grass.
It is advertising the person's business.



Formed in May 1973 by ex-members of the pop group Arrival (band), Kokomo's ten-piece line-up became: Dyan Birch (vocals), Frank Collins (vocals), Paddy McHugh (vocals), Tony O'Malley (keyboards, vocals), Alan Spenner (bass), Neil Hubbard (guitar), Mel Collins (saxophone), Jody Linscott (percussion), Terry Stannard (drums) and Jim Mullen (guitar). It drew personnel from defunct UK bands: Spenner and Hubbard from the Grease Band; Birch, McHugh, Collins and O'Malley from Arrival; and Collins from King Crimson. Kokomo built an early reputation in the UK pub rock scene. In 1975 it toured with Dr. Feelgood and Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers on the 'Naughty Rhythms' tour,[4] and appeared at the Reading Festival.
