Real Insects were an all female band and hailed from the Latimer Road / Frestonia area. There's very little information
available and I can find no evidence of them playing a gig. It's possible they were formed solely in order to contribute to
the Making Waves LP organised by Corrina of Street Level. I know little else. Drusilla Verney (Kraskaya) - Vocals, Bass Sarah Maffett - Guitar, Vocals Jane Hart - Guitar Ruth Novaczek - Drums Prior to this Sarah Maffett sang with a band called One Hand Clapping and later played in Merry Zap Zap with Joy Mobbs and Nick Godwin. If you want to know what one hand clapping sounds like you'll need to get the single. Merry Zap Zap appeared at many of the Idiot Ballroom events. Ruth Novaczek, aka Kate(?), played later with Abandon Your Tutu and at times with Cast Iron Fairies. A brief search indicates she then went on to St. Martins and became a film-maker. Drusilla (or Druesilla / Drucilla ? etc) is an artist, part of the West London Squat Art 'movement'. |

Music For Pressure 1981 Cass Fuck Off FO 007
I only have Version 2 of this tape and it's unclear whether Real Insects are on it or not. However there's a track on it that might be called In The Garden that might be by them! It's absolutely wonderful and it's a shame there's not more. |
