| | Music: After the Fall (Seattle Weekly) |
 | | No wonder Bramah's next band, the Blue Orchids, sounded so exuberant: In 1979, he knew that he could just as well be back on the other side of Manchester, desecrating the corpses of dead guitars on Dragnet or in some other unspeakable universe in Mark E. Smith's head. |
 | | The Blue Orchids found theirs during their bizarre stint as the backing band for Nico—by then a sepulchral, drug-mangled mannequin. |
