Nagamatzu

Andrew Lagowski (synths, guitar, and drum machines) and Stephen Jarvis (synths, bass and programming) met while attending secondary school in Ipswich, England. They bonded over a mutual love for Human League, Tubeway Army, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, The Cure, Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and Clock DVA. Andrew had already been playing drums in a local band, Silent Command. Their first recorded output was the Magog Universal “750141” cassette in 1981. Andrew Fleck joined for the “Shatter Days” album in 1983. Their name comes from a character in JG Ballard‘s “Atrocity Exhibition”.
