As a young teenage fan, it had been a terribly exciting couple of years for me. There was a lot written about ‘hype’ in the music press, but I never actually saw any evidence of this, just a bloody good hard working band, and people were hearing about them mostly by word of mouth. To see them live was such a fantastic experience. There was much dancing and sweating, and Rokko really was a star on stage, a natural lead man.

There was much comment on the clothes, which I personally thought were really cool, but considering how good they sounded, should anyone have cared if they’d dressed in broccoli. There were many comparisons to David Bowie, which Rokko always protested that he only ever had one Bowie album, I don’t know if it was Ziggy Stardust,or even Low, but something definitely drew Mick Ronson towards them!

Rokko went off to work with the late Mick Ronson, and is credited on his album Heaven and Hull, and presently lives in Woodstock, New York, and has worked on a music project xj5000. Rokko has an album out under the name of Sham Morris called Semi-Detached and is currently working with a band called Spiv U.K. with an album called Gigantic Inflation Of The Ego already under their belt and a new album The So Far Machine, due for future release (check out their MySpace to hear some of their tracks).

Lushi cut four singles in and around 1986 with a band called Boom Boom Room. Here Comes The Man (previously demoed by One the Juggler, which can be heard on their MySpace), Take Your Time, Love Your Face and Julie. (see Boom Boom Room photos)

Amongst many other projects, he played in two bands with Tracee McVeigh, one called Little Ego and the Prophets, and another called Poppy's Illusion, which opened a few times for Glenn Tilbrook.

A few years ago, he recorded a song called One Hello with Sham, which appears on the new demos album, Destination Planet Blue, available through Real Vision. Last year he recorded an album under the name of Glamweazel called Mask Parade also on Real Vision and has been doing library music for adverts/tv for the last few years with fellow Boom Boom Room member Skid Solo.

South African band, the Parlotones, more recently had a big hit with Boom Boom Room's version of Here Comes the Man. Listen.

Lin is working as a film editor at the BBC, and in recent times, guested with Harlan the Jester, and played some One the Juggler songs. You can see some great pictures of Lin when he was in a band called Tennis Shoes pre One the Juggler with long hair and cardigan!. You can also see some great One the Juggler shots there too. He has more recently worked with a band called Geezerbird, where if you prefer you can see him running round in a school uniform! A great remake of a public information film with the real Alvin Stardust! And great tunes too. A great new album too One In The Hand.

Steve Nicol went on to reform Eddie and the Hot Rods. In 1997 he was in a car accident and was replaced while recovering, but is again in the driving seat.

One Friday 6th April 2007, the band played at the Amersham Arms for their 25th anniversay and released a demos album Destination Planet Blue. The show was such a success that it's a huge possibility that it will be repeated in the future. Already there is talk for a summer single...
