Neo was an early New Wave band which was part of the Engish musical scene originated by punk in the 1970s. The group was formed by the american-born singer Ian North, who was the frontman and the only continuous member from the band formation in 1977 to the end in 1979. In 1976, Ian North (lead vocals, guitar) travelled with the band Milk 'N' Cookies for which he was the guitarist, to London to record a new album but they never made it and the group took separate ways. Only North stayed in London , meeting Brian Eno and Martin Gordon (bass), who a few years ago founded with ex John's Children's Andy Ellison the glam band Jet. Gordon created a new band called Radio and Eno invited Paul Simon (drums), who formed part of Limmie Funk Limited (with Limmie Snell) to join them and completed the line-up. The band was post-punk, but only after a gig (supporting Ultravox!) in November 1976, Gordon dropped out and returned with Andy Ellison and changed the name of Jet to Radio Stars. The band recruited George Dyner for replace him, but for short time, and, in April 1977, North took the place of him on bass and continuing singing, and Paul's brother Robert was introduced, taking the guitar place.
