The Band

"Dancing with the cosmic crowd"

The Mironian members of The Trudy crashed their spaceship into an experimental Russian satellite in 1959, sending them plummeting to earth where they crash-landed in a supermarket. Repairing a spaceship costs a lot of money, and finding that they were failing to earn enough dosh stacking the shelves, they started selling The Trudy t-shirts. Unfortunately, no-one had then heard of The Trudy, so they had to start a pop band in an effort to publicise them.

This last event was in 1979, shortly after Peter Tagg and Ralph Cade had both suffered a cardiac arrest (see links page).
