ON THIS DAY ... in 1984 - PINK & BLACK
100 photos from this photo session from 1984 plus two 1983 shots.
After leaving Sex Gang Children Rob Stroud soon found himself in, and out, of The Aemotii Crii. Deciding to form his own band with girlfriend Michelle Yee-Chong they played live as a duo and recorded the single before Rob was reunited with Andy Cousin after he also left The Aemotii Crii.
Pink & Black released one single at the time (Rob making other tracks available more recently) before Rob moved on to all manner of electronic projects (definitely checkout his bandcamp page through the ‘Love Crusade’ link below) and a return to Sex Gang. Michelle would join Junior Manson Slags and various projects involving the great Finn Panton (R.I.P.), then on to Suck Henry, R.I.P., Seeds of ‘77, Azrael etc, and Andy would be off to All About Eve, The Mission and beyond.
