The Bolshoi with Paul Clark

<p>Paul Clark in conversation with David Eastaugh</p> <p><a href='https://www.thebolshoibrothers.com'>https://www.thebolshoibrothers.com</a></p> <p>The original lineup consisted of singer/guitarist Trevor Tanner, drummer Jan Kalicki, and bassist Graham Cox. Tanner and Kalicki had previously played together in the short-lived punk band Moskow. Early gigs supported the likes of <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cult'>the Cult</a>, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_March_Violets'>the March Violets</a> and <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lords_of_the_New_Church'>the Lords of the New Church</a>. After eight gigs bass player Graham Cox was replaced by Nick Chown. In 1985, the band released their debut single, "Sob Story", followed by the mini-album, Giants, and their hit song "Happy Boy". Word of mouth was such that the Bolshoi were able to sell out many of their early headlining performances.</p>
