I particularly like the first song here, even though it's all in French, a language I never mastered. PragVEC formed in 1978 from ex-Derelicts members Susan Gogan and John Studholme, along with David Boyd and Nicholas Cash. They played about twenty gigs in their short two-year existence, as well as recording three sessions for John Peel. Perhaps most famously, they are referred to in the Half Man Half Biscuit song PragVEC At The Melkweg, a band I adore and after whom this blog is named - see Joy Division Oven Gloves. That's pretty much all the info I can find on PragVEC, except that they made an album, Spec Records Presents No Cowboys (if anyone owns this please do get in touch), and also there's a few interviews with them you can read here. Their other single, Expert, can be found on the Youtubes.
1978, Spec Records
