- Spizz is a man of many guises. His band names included Spizzoil, Spizzenergi, Spizzles, Athletico Spizz 80, Spizzsexual, Spizzorwell, Spizz and the Astronauties. He is probably best known for the single ‘Where’s Captain Kirk?’ which topped the inaugural Indie Chart for 7 weeks in 1980. Spizz talks us through his life from the time he featured unannounced on stage at a punk evening at the Birmingham club Barbarelles, his appearances with Heaven 17 when he played without his guitar plugged in, through to the modern day world of Spizz where he still records and gigs.

Great band i have been a spizz fan since i was 13, which was a long time ago !
Jolly fascinating and humorous interview.. thank you Iain & Spizz
Yes and Spizz is still very enthusiastic for the band.
Energi Crisis is the best Spizz song ever!-how come not on U-tube? ..its so relevant today!
Lived in my road .Dorridge salutes you.
Great guy !
You would have thought they would have cleaned or filled in the crack on the wall? lol
Hey Spizz, where did you get that jacket, I really like it but can't find one on the net.
Not bad life balanced on one song.
Always loved Spizz even though we had an argument in the bar of the Hammersmith Odeon because he thought The Comsat Angels were better than him? I told him he was talking bollocks and Spizz got a bit wound up, but we were young. I think this was at The Yellow Magic Orchestra gig around 80 or 81? Anyway Spizz I was right and glad you still love doing it live (hopefully asap forget 2020)
Do you mean Hammersmith Clarendon?
"Spock's Missing" was such a sad song.
Love that track
Where's captain kirk! URGH was my woodstock.
URGH was/is amazing. I still own the VHS compilation, and years later, managed to get my hands on the DVD version.
