The Decorators

The Decorators were an English post-punk band from Acton, London, England, formed in 1980.

The initial line-up of the band was Michael Bevan (vocals, guitar), Johnny Gilani (guitar), Steve Sandor (bass), Joe Sax (saxophone), and Allan Boroughs (drums).

[1] They moved to a communal residence in London and released a couple of singles before attracting interest from Island Records, a deal falling through when Island's Andrew Lauder moved on to Demon Records.

[1] The band instead signed to Red Flame Records, and expanded to a six-piece with the addition of keyboard player Pete Saunders, fresh from Dexys Midnight Runners.

[1] After the "Strange One" single in June 1982, they released their debut album, Tablets, the following month, released by Virgin Records in France.
