SOUTHERN COMFORT

BIOGRAPHY:

Rehearsal band formed in California (up the braes, not the USA!) in May 1986 by Stephen Anderson (keyboards), Kevin Deans (bass / guitar, also with The Shock), John McAleer (vocals), Jason Taylor (guitar / bass) & Gary Verth (guitar). They were managed by Gill Porter, and within a couple of months had split, with Deans & Taylor forming Crystal Religion, before being re-united with McAleer & Verth in The Happymen. Anderson later formed Original Sin.
