• Essential_Bop abstract "Essential Bop were a Bristol-based post-punk/art band formed in early 1978 by Dave Robinson (who had played bass with Champion Jack Dupree and Joe Cocker), with an initial line-up of Steve Bush (singer, originally in The Biros), Mike Fewings (guitar, from The Cortinas and Colortapes), Simon Tyler (keyboards, from Dragon Sandwich), Nick Tufnell (drums) and Seng-gye Tombs Curtis (‘visualist’). According to Steve Bush they were originally going to be called Essence of Bop, but instead opted for Essential Bop.Their first release was the track ‘Chronicle’ on the seminal 1979 Bristol Compilation LP/CD Avon Calling. This was followed by line-up changes and in 1980 the ‘Eloquent Sounds’ EP on their own Monopause label. This resulted in NME journalist Paul Morley interviewing Steve Bush and writing that Essential Bop would be one of the bands that would make it in the 1980s.Further line-up changes in 1981 saw them emerge as a guitarless four piece band with 2 tracks on Bristol Recorder 3 and their second release on Monopause of the single ‘Croaked’/’Butler (in running shorts)’. The single received some notice in the New York independent charts and resulted in an US east coast tour in the summer of 1981, however the band split after their return. A third single ‘Monkey Glands’ was never released, but did appear on both of the band's albums. Their second compilation CD ‘Chronicles’ included the track 'Mau Mau' which was recorded in 1981 by Art Objects/The Blue Aeroplanes and included on their Cassette/CD ‘Weird Shit’. Gerard Langley of The Blue Aeroplanes has a long history of producing, performing and writing with Steve Bush, ever since their initial group The Biros. Langley on the cover notes of the Avon Calling CD referred to Essential Bop as ‘closet Doors fans with a grudge’.In 1984 Steve Bush and Simon Tyler reformed the band in London with Mike Fewings on bass and Martin Kiernan on drums, and subsequently released their debut LP on TSAR, ‘The Flick Was Boss’. The album included tracks from a variety of sources and line-ups, covering the years 1979, 1980, 1981 and 2 new songs from 1984. The band folded for good in 1985.Bristol Archive Records released a second compilation album in 2008 called ‘Chronicles’, which included both studio and live tracks. The Avon Calling 2 CD from 2010 also included the track ‘Audition Room’ by the band.".
