Description
<p>Rodney Orpheus - The Cassandra Complex - in conversation with David Eastaugh</p> <p>http://cassandracomplex.co.uk</p> <p>The band was initially composed of Rodney Orpheus and Paul Dillon, who met when Orpheus gatecrashed Dillon's 21st birthday party in Leeds. They began putting on large multimedia shows featuring various avant-garde acts from the Leeds area. Andy Booth was a journalist who interviewed the band and was later asked to join. The band released their first self-financed single, "March", in March 1985. A live cassette followed a month later, and the band signed to local label Rouska. Dillon left the band to get married and the band recruited Rodney's childhood friend John Marchini, with <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jez_Willis'>Jez Willis</a> and Keith Langley guesting live and in the studio.</p>
