The Keatons formed in London in late 1986, with Steve, Dave, Neil & Ken. After a couple of years of occasional demos and gigs in terrible London pubs, things started becoming a bit odd. Mo, a performance artist who Steve had been told floated vegetables up the Thames, began to get involved - and by involved I mean hurling himself about while carrying corrugated card. If band members failed to turn up, someone else would be roped in at the last minute.
