Modern Eon

Modern Eon was a British post-punk/new wave band, formed in Liverpool, England in 1978. They released one album, Fiction Tales, on the independent UK label Dindisc in 1981. This record found its way onto many turntables alongside The Cure and Echo & the Bunnymen. The band, originally called Luglo Slugs, was founded by guitarist/vocalist Alix Plain (real name Alex Johnson) and bassist Danny Hampson, later joined by drummer Dave Hardbattle. The Luglo Slugs lineup recorded "Benched Down/70s Sixties" at Open Eye Studios in Liverpool.
