Paul Gardiner — Stormtrooper in Drag (1981)

March 2nd, 2010


“Stormtrooper in Drag” by the late Paul Gar­diner is often cred­ited to Gary Numan. Maybe because Numan con­tributed not only the pro­duc­tion and co-composing but also played, sang the lead vocals and released it on his label.

After this release the pair drifted away because of Gar­diners esca­lat­ing drug use. This alien­ated Numan, who him­self claimed absis­tence of drugs. The lyrics of Stormtroop­ers in Drag and the death of Paul Gar­diner both had some­thing to do with drugs.

Fehl­far­ben is a rock band which is per­haps best known as a ger­manese ver­sion of Gang of Four. They enjoyed one hit sin­gle which the band them­selves dis­liked since it was pro­duced pur­posely as a joke. Kyny­Nasty appreciates!
