Jump Up and Down
Mike Cooper [Vocals/Guitar], Chris Ames [Guitar], Rob Rampton [Bass] and Rob Peters [Drums] changed the name of their previous band from IN THE JUNGLE WITH NO GUNS, a rehearsing experimental band, to DANGEROUS GIRLS (the name taken from a small headline in a Birmingham newspaper).
The first song I’ve uploaded is Jump Up and Down, filmed on October 30th 1979 at was the legendary Birmingham University Student Guild Hall.
Formed in 1978 they quickly became establish on the Birmingham circuit before gaining praise further afield, especially in America. Some 30 years later, members of the band have tracked down old video footage of them performing live and we’ll be getting these onto the site in the next few weeks.
Hi Jez,
great to see after all these years Dangerous Girls. I´m from Germany and was one of the first in punk interested boys in Bavaria. I never had the chance to buy the first DG-single “Dangerous Girls”. I have it only on a tape, that is becomming worse in all these years since 1979. Are these fantastic songs of this unforgettable band on any cd? Or can i download them? I found nothing – what can do with my age of 51 (too old to rock´n´roll, too young to die).
Thank you Jez, that I can see DG more than 30 years later.
Merry Christmas – and it would be fantastic, to hear from you.
Peter Kober
