400 Blows (British band)

400 Blows was a British band founded in 1981.

400 Blows was formed in South London by Edward Beer in 1981 along with two friends, Alexander Fraser and Rob. Their debut single was released on their own Concrete Productions record label in 1982. In 1983 they were signed to the Illuminated label and subsequently released an album, "If I Kissed Her I'd Have To Kill Her First". In 1985 they released a single, "Movin'", described by Adrian Thrills in the "New Musical Express" as 'a spiked reworking of the 1976 Brass Construction dance classic'. It reached 54 in the UK Singles Chart. By this time the line up was Beer, Anthony Thorpe, and Lea, formerly the female half of the duo Tom Boy. [Adrian Thrills, "Blowin' Down the House", "New Musical Express", 29 June 1985, p.19]
