- English post punk band from Sheffield and Doncaster, founded in 1978 and disbanded in 1995. (AKA "Dream Command")... Their music has been described as "abstract pop songs with spare instrumentation, many of which were bleak and filled with some form of heartache." They have been credited as being an influence to later post-punk revival bands such as Blacklist, Bell Hollow, Editors and Interpol. The Comsat Angels toured heavily in the UK and in western Europe, especially in the Netherlands. They also toured the United States twice. Their music has been extensively reissued and recompiled since 1995 by various record labels.
Members: Andy Peake, Kevin Bacon, Mik Glaisher, Simon Anderson, Steve Fellows, Terry Todd
The Comsat Angels reformed the original line-up to play a one-off gig as part of the Sensoria Festival at the O2 Academy in Sheffield on April 26 2009. A different line-up with Terry Todd on bass then played a further three gigs in the UK in October 2009.

In the early 80s, I was fortunate enough to see these guys in a small club in Rhode Island.
Because of some scheduling issue, they were opening for a local band.
I got a chance to talk to keyboard player Andy Peake before their set.
What a treat!
And this was supposed to be from their "shit" period. What a bloody great band they were.
Wow, great version of this song!
Love these guys ever since Falling was played in Real Genius.
The Comsats only played in Los Angeles once in 1986. They were brilliant !
One of the favorite live band in the eightees ❤️
The Comsat Angels had a unique feel. Great rhythm section.
Agree... luved Kevin Bacon's bass playing
Drummers are always forgotten in the band hierarchy, and Mr Glaisher is fun-tastic.
such talent - their whole catalog has hardly any weak moments. I saw the last gig in Sheffield before they hung up their gloves. great music.
me too, great show in Sheffield and then in London.. great band ..
Must be a cool VHS to have.
How was this not adopted by any popular airline?
Dick Goodbody. Lovely upload, lovely band. They sure had something extra special about them.

WOW, Where has this been hiding all our lives? Thanks for posting. Do you have more from this fantastic band?
We look forward to those two tracks... The quality of this track is fantastic. If you're fan you should join our group, if interested I can send details.
Yes when I first heard this I wondered if the studio track was dubbed over it, it sounds VERY good!
Yes that group, yes I'm the Australian hehehe... There weren't many there just my husband and I. :-)
Interesting, Will Self named his band after a JG Ballard short story.
some really good music, unluckly not to have some real success....prefer their later period of songs
might be helpful to say when this actual performance dates from?
