Jake was the original drummer, in 1986, with Crazy Pink Revolvers. The previous year he had played music with Stephen Luscombe of Blancmange for the 1985 Alternative Miss World Show.
For the above information we are indebted to both Warren Bassett who is the artist manager for Stan Stammers, Plastic Eaters, and looks after the interest of Stan's old band, Crazy Pink Revolvers, and also to Jes Benstock, currently (2010) making a film about the Alternative Miss World Show.
