Waxploitation were an electronic three-piece outfit who were part of the move to bridge the gap between dance music, electronica and live instrumentation. Sampled breaks, programming and acidic touches were weaved into a live fender rhodes and hammond driven experience. Ably pinned down by the fantastic bass and keyboard playing of Simon Paterson with Tom Bailey providing the driving Rhodes and Organ input. Bob Sadler was the back-room engineer who often was let loose on the squelchy vintage analogue keyboards. Joined on occasion by Gareth Bailey on trombone and percussion. Tom Bailey along with Bob Sadler went on to form FUG.
