Klaxon 5 - Never Underestimate the Ignorance of the RichAn old favourite of mine, the second and (I think) last single from Klaxon 5 on the ever glorious El Records from 1986. A Ealing romp of a song that deserved to imprint itself on the general public but, alas, sank beneath waves of indifference.
I know very little about Klaxon 5, I think Troy Tate had a hand in producing the b-side of this single and a couple of years before this they had another single out (Hothouse). Like many 'El bands, their names have been lost to history....

They were a band from Bushey, Hertfordshire who started out as The Quiffs before morphing into Klaxon 5.
Brothers Don McClean (vocals) Angus McClean (guitar)Mark Chivers (vocals) Peter O'Sullivan (bass) and Kenny Wint (drums) plus other casual musicians. Peter was my best mates older brother and he and the Klaxon 5 were our idols when we were 14/15
Split after this song but as as far as I know are all still friends as they all met back in secondary school in the late 70's
