Spizzenergi

The story of one of the UK's most fascinating Punk/New Wave acts began on 29th August 1977 when Kenneth Spiers borrowed a guitar and played an acoustic solo set under the name Spizz at Barbarellas during an all-day Punk festival. The festival also featured Eater, Bethnal, The Drones, Model Mania, The Worst, The Unwanted and The Killjoys (amongst others), but Spizz made one of the most lasting impressions when the plug was pulled on his set by the engineer and he wowed the audience with an immediate response song, 'I've Been Switched Off'. The audience picked up this phrase and began chanting it, and at that moment Spizz realised that his calling was music. Over the next five years Spizz evolved from this demented solo act to a duo and finally a fully fledged band, changing its name on an annual basis (Spizz '77, Spizz Oil, Spizzenergi, Athletico Spizz 80, The Spizzles, Spizzenergi 2) and its lineup more often that.
