THIS SCARLET TRAIN

BIOGRAPHY:

Band formed in January 1987 by ex-Shadowplay members Stuart Nelson (vocals / bass) & Robert Polson (guitar), along with drummer Steven Docherty. They signed to Brian Guthrie's Nightshift label, and released a mini-album of infectious Joy Division meets Cocteau Twins tracks that year, before Docherty left in January 1988. Nelson & Polsen then called it a day in October 1988, with Nelson later forming Captain Trips, and Polson turning up in Water Magnesium.
