Does It Matter Irene?

"Does It Matter Irene?" is the first disc released by post-punk group The Mothmen, on Absurd Records, in 1979. Shortly before, the band members were involved with two known Manchester bands, guitarist/bassist Dave Rowbotham, bassist/guitarist Tony Bowers and drummer Chris Joyce with The Durutti Column and vocalist Bob Harding with Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias. Bowers also was member of Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias before The Durutti Column.

This was the only single released on Absurd. The band later signed Do It! to release in 1981 their first album Pay Attention! and their next single Show Me Your House And Car.

However, the band waited the entire 1980 working in separated ways. Dave Rowbotham was recording material with Pauline Murray And The Invisible Girls, Chris Joyce joined Pink Military, with whom began to work, and Tony Bowers was producing for the latter band.

The B-side of the song, "Please Let Go", was later re-versioned for the debut album Pay Attention!.[1]

gollark: Long-term data storage is achieved by beaming all data into space as frequency-modulated X-rays, since if FTL travel or something is ever developed they can just be picked up later™.
gollark: Well, actually three of them for redundancy.
gollark: Yes, we actually have a system where all our data is fed in an entirely unstructured way into a somewhat slow-running trillion-node neural network.
