Lora Logic - British Punk Rocker: Saxophonist And Co-Founder Of Iconic English Punk Band X-Ray Spex With Poly Styrene. Then Post-Punk Band Essential Logic!

Lora Logic is a British punk and post-punk musician. In 1977, when she was 16, she became the saxophonist in Poly Styrene’s seminal English punk band, X-Ray Spex. They had a hit with “Oh Bondage! Up Yours!”. She went on to form Essential Logic, a post-punk band with duelling saxophones that released one album in 1979. 43 years later she released a second Essential Logic album together with a box set of her back catalogue. Essential Logic plays a post-punk mix of punk, jazz, reggae and funk. Her life took a detour in the ‘80s when she joined a Krishna community, became a mother, and dropped out of music for 25 years. But she’s back now. My featured song is “I Just Want To Love You” from the album Bobby M and the Paisley Parade.
