The Androids

The Androids was Punk band from Northern Ireland. Formed in Belfast in September 1977, the original line up of the band featured Steve Rainey lead guitar, Andrew (Aza) Middleton bass, Billy McIlwaine drums and Joe Moody (aka Joe Zero) vocals and guitar. Initial rehearsals took place in the old ARE, situated upstairs at the corner of Lombard Street and Rosemary Street. Their debut gig took place on Friday 10th February 1978 at the Arts Council Gallery in Bedford Street, Belfast. Further gigs followed around Belfast at the Harp bar and the Glenmachan Stables with bands such as The Outcasts, Rudi, Stiff Little Fingers and Protex. The Androids clearly had more depth, musically and lyrically than many of their archetypical Punk by numbers counterparts at the time. A common lyrical theme running through Androids songs was that of being different, being on the outside, whether that was from being a Belfast Punk or just simply being “different from the norm”.
