Evolving out of Bristol’s the The Pop Group, Rip Rig And Panic was formed in 1981 as a conceptual musicians’ collective, taking its name from an album by Roland Kirk. The group’s prime movers were multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Gareth Sager, jazz trumpeter Don Cherry’s step-daughter Neneh Cherry (b. Neneh Mariann Karlsson, 10 March 1964, Stockholm, Sweden; vocals), Cherry’s partner and drummer Bruce Smith, Sean Oliver (d. March 1990; bass) and Mark Springer (3) (piano). Powerful and disturbing live, their playful, anarchic jazz-funk was well captured on the irreverent 1981 debut album God, which appeared as two 45 rpm discs, but was too radical for daytime airplay or significant sales. They performed at the first WOMAD festival in 1982 shortly before Cherry returned to Sweden to have her first baby. Sean Oliver’s sister Andrea temporarily took over vocals, and Louis Moholo joined on drums. The equally experimental second album, I Am Cold, appeared in 1982, With additional help from ex-Slits singer Ari Upp and Cherry’s stepfather, noted jazz trumpeter Don Cherry, I Am Cold is a slightly more mature work, but the exuberance and all-out craziness that marked their debut is here in full force. A little rambling, but an approach to music unlike one you’ve heard before.
