+Roger Cowell Well you were duped, all those years ago. That's not Strawberry Switchblade, it's Rose McDowall playing solo ( with assorted Creation bods ) pretending to be Strawberry Switchblade.
If that is indeed you Jill, can I just say how much you guys inspired me, possibly more than anyone else! "Since Yesterday" is pretty much my fave pop song of all time, and your look and style in the 80s was just sublime. Best pop group ever. You are missed, but your music and style lives on, that's for sure! You got me into Sibelius as well :-) LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH XXXXXXX
She's Scottish. Recommend you eat something Scottish to acclimatise your ears . How about a bowl of Cullen Skink & a glass of Whiskey or Gin , then for dessert a can of Iron brew & a deep fried Mars bar . Suffice to say her singing voice is lovely as well ❤️. Both were 🤣 .
You can get impaled by the injustice of the deceit of the powers that be. Or that, whether it's Rose and no Jill, nobody really cares and that probably includes the two of them. Now drama aside, the essence of the moment to me, was her earning by playing live music. Very well. Nostalgia keeps you in a holding pattern. I don't recommend it. Brochures look slick to entice a autonomic nerve to find comfort from regulating the emotional response from the highs to the lows . Trying to capture a concept without a net, balloons, and flippity flop potions can make for deep unrelenting unforgivable passions of a different kind. We both can agree with everything in the future is going to occur because it is how we roll padre.
I think Rose wanted to keep the Strawberry Switchblade name because it was suggested to her as an individual even though she acknowledges that the original incarnation is no more. I imagine she was quite comfortable with the "new look" label. Gill didn't see it that way maybe because some of Rose's friends were not of the kind everybody would want to be associated with such as Boyd Rice.
This even for 1988 is a much more mature sound from Rose 🌹 Let's be honest Switchblade was all of Us in second Year of school This sound is a grown up sound with riffs that have actually been put together ❤️
That's not Strawberry Switchblade - where's Jill ? As a duo they had a ( dare I say it ) Simon & Garfunkel feel about their vocals - and without Jill's voice and musical impute ( her songwriting basically ) this sounds a bit flat, to be honest. And - as history seems to show - without Jill Rose's couldn't cut it !

I am not so sure that Rose calls herself "str sw" here. maybe just the title given by the media
I highly doubt he was duped. That there is a supergroup of amazing proportions. Lawrence from Felt! That is classic.
@@Gozzillacia Rose makes it clear in the video that Strawberry had ended and badly
God she’s so pretty, and her accent.
Rose Great Girl ! Talented Musician enjoyed her music at the time 👍❤
Thank you for posting this, I've never seen this footage. Makes me choke up seeing Throb again, much appreciated. (Greenwood) xxx
I never knew Throb collaborated with Rose, 'til this. Rose has certainly collaborated with, well, pretty much every musician I like, over the years.
Can I just say that this is definitely not Strawberry Switchblade. We split in 1986.

It happens - Dave Hill is still touring as Slade !
since yesterday 😅 I remember that, God I was just 12.

I love you Jill. Correct, this is Rose alone with a non permanent band
what a beautiful woman
and so says all of us.
Lawrence from Felt on the band. Amazing!
I could not understand her accent but I love her ..😁😁😁
her talking voice is so different from her singing voice!
THATS MY AUNTIE 😜😜
very cool auntie ,absolute legend
is rose mcdowall really your aunt?
Back to new wave guitar sound after the synths
That's not Strawberry Switchblade - it's Rose solo !
Can’t understand a word she said. But her lyrics are nice.
Same for me, but I'm Spanish 😁
I understood everything she said. Although I am British.
She's Scottish.

Great. Man I wish they had done more jangle pop stuff. I like the synthbeat they had but love the jangle.
Love this jangly sound.
Me too
Its so sad that SS split up
just throwing it out there that sounds absolutely wild out of context
🖤

Excellent drivel, Stanley Unwin would have been proud.

This stuff is what Indie Girls like Myself wanted to be like

Indie forever
@kyfaydfsoab ...what?

I agree. Yet I have to admit I adore what Rose has done ever since (Sorrow above all)
This is Rose McDowell’s band
Innes and Throb?
I just got to the part where she introduces the band...
Babe
check out her stumming lol
Why? Is it bad?
those vocals are drastically out of tune
Good...good
That is what makes it so good
