Abstract
Rich Deakin charts 1987: the year that Grebo broke. "GREBO" - it's a term that can still send shudders down the spine of supposedly more discerning and earnest adherents of 1980s British indie music's golden era, not to mention some of those who were unwillingly thrown under the umbrella of this media constructed genre. Now, almost 25 years after a pivotal NME 'Grebe!' special in July 1987, and following hot on the heels of a recent album and a second tour by a reconstituted Pop Will Eat Itself - fronted by original Poppy Graham Crabb and former Gaye Bykers On Acid frontman Mary Byker (A.K.A. Ian Hoxley, Mary Mary, Mary Montana etc.) - Rich Deakin argues that the rehabilitation of "grebo" is long overdue. Revisiting the year that grebo broke, he puts forward the case that it was more than just a "bit-part irritant" and an embarrassing boil on the arse of British indie music. Now climb on board the Zen Express and read on.
