JOHN'S CHILDREN
Records are not for sale - For your viewing pleasure only
John's Children, formerly "The Silence", were an England-based 1960s proto-punk band featuring future T. Rex frontman Marc Bolan, whose 1967 single "Desdemona" was banned by the BBC for the 'controversial' lyric, "Lift up your skirt and fly". Bolan was with the band for about four months. His main roles were to be the band's composer and play electric guitar (until then, he only played acoustic guitar). His singing voice is sometimes lead in "unofficial" recordings only. Their manager was Simon Napier-Bell, who devised white stage outfits and an outrageous stage act which included fighting each other and Bolan whipping the stage with a chain.The group were put on tour with The Who in Germany around April 1967. A concert in Düsseldorf ended in a riot, and a later concert in Ludwigshafen created such a fuss that the Who nearly couldn't play. The group were promptly deported.
