The Comsat Angels were a post-punk band from Sheffield, England, active from 1978 to 1995.[1] Their music has been described as “abstract pop songs with spare instrumentation, many of which were bleak and filled with some form of heartache.”[2] They have been credited as being an influence to current post-punk revival bands, such as Editors and Interpol. [3] The Comsat Angels toured heavily in their native UK and in western Europe (especially in The Netherlands where they were moderately popular), but only did a couple of tours in the United States.[4] Their music has been extensively reissued and recompiled since 1995 by various record labels, but as of this date the band has not reformed.
Biography
Named after the J. G. Ballard short story The Comsat Angels,[5] the foursome’s core lineup (lasting 1978-1992) consisted of:
* Stephen Fellows - vocals, songwriting, lead guitar;
* Kevin Bacon - bass;
* Mik Glaisher - drums;
* Andy Peake - keyboards.
They debuted with an EP, released in 1979, named “Red Planet”.[6] This release attracted Polydor A&R man Frank Neilson and the band signed a three-album recording contract.[7] These three LPs, Waiting for a Miracle (1980), which included the single “Independence Day”, probably their best known song, Sleep No More (1981) and Fiction (1982), are regarded by some as their best, but only sold modestly.[8]

"Sleep No More" was one of the great albums of the eighties. Better than anything by The Cure or U2.

Saw them in Manchester last Friday. Absolutely stunning. At the end, Stephen Fellows looked shocked at the response he was getting. He said "I'm not used to this". He should be used to it. The Comsats are one of the best bands ever. Outside, there were hundreds of t-shirt sellers flogging shirts for someone called Bring Me The Horizon. Sigh.

Did anyone get to download the live Comsat shows from 1981 and 1982 that were on the "pretension and wankery" blog before it got deleted the other day? If so, I'd appreciate it greatly if someone could send them to me. I've always wanted to hear how they sounded live in their prime.

One of the best Post Punk bands to come out of anywhere! The first 4 albums are great. Sleep No More and Fiction are must have for anyone that wants the best of the 80's. Very underrated band. They should have been up there with U2.

Thanks for posting the link, Brooklynite! Much appreciated. :) "After The Rain" sounds really good. Sound quality isn't too bad for an audience recording. I do hope the guys will release the show on DVD.

There are several videos on YouTube from the gig and the soundcheck. This is the best, I think, After The Rain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFNL92XiqRA I was told by a band member that they were videotaping the show. It's up to them to decide if they will release it.

I'm soooo jealous of everyone who got to see them at the reunion show(s)! Anybody know if anything was taped for video/dvd? ..... hell, even if it was low quality youtube video I'd still love to see it! :)
