Minny Pops
Minny Pops is an Amsterdam-based new wave/electronic/art punk band, associated with the Ultra post-punk movement in the Netherlands and the Factory Records label in the UK.
History
The vocalist/songwriter/programmer Wally van Middendorp formed the band in 1978, taking the name from a primitive Korg drum machine, the Mini Pops.
Minny Pops, which van Middendorp originally intended to be a project for just three performances, had an initial lineup of van Middendorp, bass guitarist Frans Hagenaars, guitarist Peter Mertens, and two dancers, including van Middendorp's older brother, Rob.
The band's first commercially released recording was the "Kojak" single (b/w "Footsteps" and "Nervous") (Plurex 005), issued in 1979 on Plurex, the independent label founded by van Middendorp in 1978.
Minny Pops' first full-length album, Drastic Measures, Drastic Movement (Plurex 900) was released in 1979.
After opening for Joy Division in Eindhoven and Den Haag in January 1980, the band was brought to the attention of Factory Records by Rob Gretton, Joy Division's manager.

Move me down the abandoned ground
Forests, fields, bananas brown
Boredom hills you are dear to me now
The ultimate shot of random procedure
Move through the mud
Move through the land
Soon being forced to sue you
Soon being left without a frown
So I went to bed with you all - In uniform
Hard knuckles with your silenced rule - In uniform
We over heard what you were saying - In uniform
Frazzle heads, worn to the ground
Making you suck on this lemony land
You can't smell the dirt until they crap on your lawn
Damage is done no matter what you are told
Resist and you find yourself buried in clouds
Move through the mud
Move through the land
Soon being forced to sue you
Soon being left without a frown
So I went to bed with you all - In uniform
Hard knuckles with your silenced rule - In uniform
