Baker's Xmas Dozen #10:
Renegade Soundwave
Wave Hello
About the same time I did the shots for Kevin Mooney. They sent me round to Gary (Asquith)’s flat near Great Ormond Street. They were called Murder Music at the time. They knew what they were doing, they moved into place, lined up. Gary was doing his scratch videos at the time, they pretty much summed up what they did musically. I hadn’t heard any music at the time. They went off to sign with Daniel Miller and signed to Mute. I really like that shot. You’ve got their characters coming across. Danny, in the front, Carl who used to do modelling for Gilbert and George. Gary was cool as fuck. He’d been in Rema Rema at that point. I was a little bit in awe of him and the whole thing. They were pretty cool. And I was just this herbert who turned up with his camera.
