“V2 seem a hybrid band- part punk, very much part glam and also a bit pre-new romantic!
I know Mark Standley ( V2 guitarist) was heavily influenced by the undertaker look of Dave Vanian from the Damned. He once showed me a copy of NME/MM or Sounds (cant remember which) from '77 with a pic of Vanian in heavy make up and Mark said "That picture... changed my life".”
“Marc Standley played in my/our band Kid Voodoo and the Tigerettes, later just Kid Voodoo, (long story of band politics) He later moved to Berlin and still resides there to my knowledge.”
