Rikki And The Last Days Of Earth
- Rikki And The Last Days Of Earth
Rikki And The Last Days Of Earth (formerly Rikki and the Last Days on Earth) were a British musical group and one of the early punk groups. They released "Oundle RocSoc" in May 1977 and are cronicled in Henrik Poulsen's book . The band was formed by Rikki Sylvan (vocals), Valac Van Der Veene (guitars), Nik Weiss (keyboards), Andy Prince (bass) and Hugh Inge-Innes Lillingston (drums).
Although the band seemed to be working-class (a stereotypical characteristic for a punk musician), they had middle-class (or upper class) upbringing. Sylvan lived in Kensington and went to public school, Prince lived with his parents in Weybridge, Weiss went to public school and Inge-Innes Lillingstone lived in Thorpe Hall, near Tamworth, being the son of a Leutenant Commander and attended Eton School.
After the band ended, Sylvan went to produce Gary Numan's albums "Replicas", with Numan's previous band Tubeway Army, and "The Pleasure Principle". Later he was solist, releasing his "The Silent Hours" album, and later formed a band called 3AM.
Their lead singer, Rikki Sylvian, later worked for Gary Numan and, according to ex-Random Hold Steve Wilkinson, passed away. [ [http://www.dharmajester.com/rikki_sylvan.html DharmaJester.com: Rikki Sylvan] ]
