Jo Callis: Whoah Yeah (1981)


"Woah Yeah!" (b/w "Sinistrale", "Dodo Boys") finds a newly-solo Rezillo/Shake guitarist/song-writers Jo Callis "trapped in the twilight zone", somewhere between the summit of glam-rock and the pit of synth-pop. Actually this single still evinces a lot of kicky pop attitude and should not be consigned to the middle ground between light and shadow.



What do you make of Jo Callis sole venture into solo recording? Let us know in the comments section.

Speaking of comments that's where you'll find the Whoah Yeah 7" link

Update1 : For an fantastic read go check out this interview with Jo Calllis over at It's **** Thing.

Update 2: MRML is looking for a rip of Jo Callis' post Human League band SWALK, let us know if anyone out there has a cop0y of it!

  3. Thanks a lot, jeffen, as you know I've been waiting for this one. By the way, although it's credited to Jo solo, the band is still the same Shake line up with Mysterious, Templar and Tate. Keep 'em coming, mate.
