Artist Info: Startled Insects

Startled Insects were an experimental 1980s trio from Bristol, UK. Its members were Bob Locke, Tim Norfolk and Richard Grassby-Lewis. Their music was difficult to pin down, mixing elements of new wave with fourth world fusion jazz and ambient music. They released two EPs and two albums, Curse Of The Pheromones (1987) and Lifepulse (1991).

After Grassby-Lewis left the band in 1996, Locke and Norfolk continued as a duo, renaming themselves as The Insects. [read more...]
