Funny Twilight Jokes Biography
Paul Haig (born 1960)is a Scottish indie composer, musician and singer. He was originally a member of 1980s post-punk band Josef K who were signed to the Postcard record label. Other bands with Postcard at the same time were Orange Juice, Aztec Camera and the Go-Betweens.
Josef K recorded five singles and an album (The Only Fun in Town) with Haig on lead vocals, before splitting after touring in July and August 1981; their final Scottish date was in Glasgow. The exact reasons behind the split remain obscure, but Haig said in an interview by Johnny Waller in Sounds a year after the split:
I was pretty depressed for a week because it was the end of an era, but after that I was really happy that we'd split, because I could get on with everything I wanted to do. I don't listen to any of those records now. It's all gone. Nothing from that period interests me, except maybe Sorry for Laughing. We didn't really get on all that well towards the end. We didn't have anything in common, so there were no jokes, no happy feeling. It was just down to doing a job. Josef K weren't that famous anyway. We've split up, so what? Everybody changes.
I've lost a lot of the ideals I had in Josef K. About not wanting to be commercially successful, suffering for your art and all that. Not that I wasn't sincere about it at the time... But I got sick of it. I want to be signed to a major and make a great record that will get radio airplay and be a big hit, then make my own money from that. I don't mind being manipulated to a certain extent in order to get what I want, but in time I want to control everything.
Haig released two interim singles on Edinburgh independent Rational, run by manager Allan Campbell. The first of these, Soon, was a collaboration with fellow Edinburgh musician Stephen Harrison (formerly of Metropak), while the second, Uncle Sam, saw Haig guesting on a record by artist Sebastian Horsley. Exploring territory first charted by Heaven 17 in their BEF guise, both singles appeared under the generic name Rhythm Of Life Organisation (RoL), an imprimatur Haig has retained ever since for everything from albums, labels and backing bands. Such anonymity also suited his avowed loathing of publicity. Indeed Haig has never once released a record with his own face on the front cover.
Also via Rational, Haig released a 700 copies limited edition cassette-only set of home-recorded electronica in 1982 titled Drama, featuring Kafka texts set to music, as well as a deconstruction of Josef K's Forever Drone.
Haig subsequently teamed up with a Belgian independent record label Les Disques du Crépuscule, and in January 1982 made solo live debuts in Edinburgh and London. At this stage his solo material was not so very different from late-period Josef K classics such as "Heaven Sent", "Adoration" and "Heart of Song", albeit with a greater emphasis on stripped-down funk rhythms. According to the NME's Dave Hill, for the latter show at The Venue:
Rhythm of Life remained a mystery... Initially they seem like an artful re-arrangement of the Iggy-Oakey ice-box delivery, and the Bogart mail order catalogue, into a perfect cliché of the same. But how straight are their faces? I don't know, but Haig projects with the efficiency of a sly android, blonde, doleful and besuited, spooning each painstaking tune with an immaculate croon. All is calm and self-contained... Since Josef K split Haig has pursued several lines, yet the cool execution of this show is undeniable, elegant and curvaceous.
The following month Rhythm of Life took part in Crépuscule's first European tour, Dialogue North-South, which also included Durutti Column, The Names, Marine, Richard Jobson, Isabelle Antena and Tuxedomoon. Eschewing a live drummer in favour of a rhythm box, RoL gained plaudits for their versatile, snappy brand of funk minimalism, and five excerpts from these shows can be found on Crepuscule's souvenir compilation, Some Interesting Things You'll See On A Long Distance Flight.
Haig elected to relocate to Brussels in March, and there embarked on an intensive recording schedule at Little Big One studio. This yielded two self-produced singles, "Running Away" and "Justice", although the latter was destined to be shelved. However, after just four months Haig tired of continental living and returned home to Edinburgh. "Running Away", a cover of the Sly Stone classic, appeared in May on Les Disques Du Crépuscule subsidiary Operation Twilight and reached number 19 on the UK Independent Chart, its success unhampered by the simultaneous release of another version by The Raincoats.
