The British rock band Fischer-Z released three quite successful albums between 1979 and 1981. The original lineup consisted of John Watts (vocals, guitar), David Graham (bass), Steve Skolnik (keyboards) and Steve Liddle (drums).
John Watts recorded and performed as ‘John Watts’ during 1981-83 before forming ‘The Cry’ in 1984.
Watts later continued with a new incarnation of Fischer-Z in 1987, with him being the only original member. Albums were released with a similar lineup until 1995 when John Watts returned to being ‘J M Watts’, ‘Watts’ and John Watts. He continues performing and recording with the most recent album being 2005’s ‘Real Life Is Good Enough’
In august 2010 John Watts had a couple of shows in the Netherlands with his current band (Sam Walker on drums and Matthew Gest on keyboard) playing good old Fischer-Z repertoire. He presented this band as “the new Fischer-Z”.

The were great. In early 80´s in Madrid, I went one day to a The Clash concert and the day after to a Fischer-Z one. We enjoy more this one, It was more authentic. We celebrate a lot a song called LIMBO.

Best album? It's a tie between Word Salad (damn, why is the CD so hard to get?) and Red Skies.
