The
SILENCERS
BIOGRAPHY:
The Silencers began life as The Bainbridge
Silencers before running into trouble from the company of the same name.
Dropping "Bainbridge" from their name, they began playing live locally
in early 1986, with a line-up of Stuart
Brown (vocals), Dougie Cameron (guitar), Ramsay
Hunter (bass) & Stephen Murphey (drums / vocals). In August they headlined
the Grangemouth Rock Festival at the Leapark Hotel, before recording a three
track demo tape in the fall. However, their existance was to be short lived,
and after a farewell gig at the Burns Bar in January 1987, they split, with
Hunter & Murphey joining The Godsend. Cameron
then set up his own band called The Spacecats.
This band had nothing to do with the later famous Glasgow act of the same name.
