デヴィッド・ボウイさんのインスタグラム写真 - (デヴィッド・ボウイInstagram)「BOWIE JOINS TRADING FACES 45 YEARS AGO TODAY “Peter met Bowie formed a dummy run gang…” * Konrads, King Bees, Manish Boys, Lower Third, Buzz, Riot Squad, Turquoise, Feathers, Zeroes, Tin Machine and no doubt others we've neglected to mention. All popular(ish) beat combos that David Bowie has been a member of, albeit fictional in the case of Zeroes. However, the very short-lived Trading Faces isn't a name you’ll come across in too many Bowie biographies. On 8th September, 1975, Peter Sellers celebrated his 50th birthday. Naturally he had a party at his L.A. home to mark the event for which he invited along various celebrities, including several musicians. Bowie did the same for his own 50th party, albeit on a bit of a larger scale. Anyway, there is some debate as to whether the party actually took place on Peter’s birthday or a few days before. But who cares, it happened and @terryoneillofficial was there to record the event for posterity, visually at least, no known sound recordings of the impromptu gig exist. As was frequently the case with Terry’s Bowie photographs, a tabloid centrespread including the images in our montage of David with Ron Wood and Keith Moon appeared in the UK. David related his own recollection of the evening in 2002: “Bill Wyman was already discontent with being a Stone and coaxed Ronnie Wood and me into forming the band Trading Faces. The idea was to cover the big hits of the time with each of us impersonating a popular singer while the others played in the style of a band discordant to the chosen singer. This would lead to hybrids like Wayne Newton with The Troggs or my personal favourite, The Singing Postman with Tower Of Power.” FOOTNOTE: Following the end of filming The Man Who Fell To Earth a couple of weeks earlier, David had returned to L.A. and a few days before Sellers’ party he contributed backing vocals to Keith Moon’s song, Real Emotion.
