"Romeo Void formed in San Francisco when Debora Iyall and Frank Zincavage met at the San Francisco Art Institute. They were both working at their art school over the summer and did a video performance piece. Not before long they began to write songs & rehearsing them in Debora’s flat, using rugs to dampen the noise. Peter Woods also took part in rehearsals. ... Debora Iyall was also a backing singer in the same band. Jay Derrah soon followed to form the original line up that officially formed on Valentine’s Day in 1979. Benjamin Bossi, an inspirational saxophone player, would join not long after, combining his riffs to Debora Iyall’s voice. ... 1981 was the year that Romeo Void would begin to make a breakthrough. 415 Records, a music label based in San Francisco that specialised in post-punk bands signed Romeo Void. February saw them release their first single ‘White Sweater’ which also included ‘Apache’. ..."
