Thank you to Nigel Meffen (Bassist of Skeet) for providing us with badges and a signed article to give away with each copy of the album. Article is signed by Nigel Meffen, we can arrange for signed vinyl if requested. Simple Reality cements the short-lived legacy of Coventry DIY group Skeet. Emerging from a scene of first-generation punks and 2 Tone kids, Skeet was instigated by Gary and Nigel Meffen in 1981, fusing tightrope instrumentals with a Roland CR-8000 under the glow of projected visuals. After a cassette of their debut performance found its way to Kay Booth who worked at Inferno Records, the unsuspecting frontwoman took the liberty of adding her own vocals. Instantly embraced as a permanent member, Booth’s shy delivery and open-diary expressions of social alienation and romantic rejection hovered over the brothers’ scratchy guitar and agitated bass.
