Biography

Henderson was a member of The Dirty Reds in the late 1970s, and formed The Fire Engines in 1979.[2] The band released an album and three singles before splitting up at the end of 1981.[2] Henderson then formed Heartbeat with Hillary Morrison, and in the mid-1980s reunited with Fire Engines drummer Russell Burn in Win, whose profile was raised by "You've Got the Power" featuring in a McEwan's lager television advertisement, and they charted in the UK with the single "Super Popoid Groove" and album Uh! Tears Baby (a Trash Icon) in 1987.[2][3] After a second album in 1989, Win split up.[2] Henderson worked with Burn again on A Dali Surprise, an album by Burn's Pie Finger project, before forming The Nectarine No. 9, the band releasing eight albums between 1992 and 2004.[4] In 2004 The Fire Engines reunited for a few live shows. Henderson went on to form The Sexual Objects.[4]

gollark: Not really?

gollark: I am not an expert at all, but the first sentence seems, well, very wrong. "Dark matter" isn't just "some cold stuff between stars", since that could be detected by... I think radio telescopes and possibly IR.
