Instant Hit: Pink Military- Did You See Her?

"Did You See Her" was the second single for Pink Military, released 38 years ago in 1980. The songs was also included on their debut album Do Animals Believe in God. There were two different version of the songs, the Album and Single version. Although this songs has huge potential, being in the same league with the some of the biggest hits from Siouxie and The Banshees and Echo & The Bunnymen at that time, it only remained a hidden gem. The group split soon after and Jayne Casey went on to form Pink Industry.

Pink Industry

Pink Industry was a duo of former Pink Military vocalist Jayne Casey and bassist Ambrose Reynolds. Casey Jayne and her brood of mates would become one of the first gaggle of youths which would fly the flag of the 'new wave' in the City of Liverpool in the mid to late 1970's. Already tuned in to what was happening regarding new music and styles from New York-past and present, Casey was ready to open eyes and ears as well as ruffling the feathers of many a passer-by in the city center with her creative and outrageous flair in clothes, hair and make-up.

 
After Pink Military ended, Casey joined up with bassist/keyboardist Ambrose Reynolds (a one time member of Frankie Goes to Hollywood), adding a guitarist after the first album, and continued to evade commercial success as Pink Industry. Inhabiting and exploring an original world of sound and vision, Pink Industry continued in the path that Pink Military was headed during their brief existence. The group combined the "anything goes" spirit of post-punk with further use of experimental electronics. Pink Industry sounded something like Siouxsie Sioux fronting Japan, using bits of guitar, bass, drums, electronics and found audio to weave a fascinating soft cushion for Casey's plain vocals.

Between 1982 and 1985, they released three albums, one EP and two singles "What I Would Give" and "Don't Let Go". Their third album New Beginnings proved to be their final work together. A series of retrospective packages followed throughout the late 80's and 90's, a self-titled release on Cathexis got the ball rolling in 1988, followed by 1990's Retrospective and 1995's New Naked Technologies.

Most of their recording material was reissued on a New Naked Technology compilation in 2010.
