The League of Gentlemen

The League of Gentlemen were a band active during March–December 1980 that featured King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp. Background Other members included bass guitarist Sara Lee (who later joined Gang of Four, the B-52's, and Indigo Girls), keyboardist Barry Andrews (formerly of XTC; later of Shriekback) and percussionist Johnny Elichaoff (who is referred to on the album as "Johnny Toobad"). Elichaoff was replaced late in the band's tenure by Kevin Wilkinson (later of China Crisis and Squeeze). The 1980 group should not be confused with Robert Fripp's first semi-professional band in the 1960s, which had the same name. Fripp referred to the 1980 band as "a second-division touring new wave instrumental dance band".
