The Soft Boys

The Soft Boys were an influential neo-psychedelic rock and roll band from Cambridge, England, formed in 1976 as Dennis and the Experts. They featured Robyn Hitchcock (main songwriter and singer), who later went on to a distinguished solo career, and Kimberley Rew (lead guitarist), later of Katrina and the Waves. Original members were Robyn Hitchcock (guitar), Rob Lamb (guitar), Andy Metcalfe (bass), and Morris Windsor (drums). Alan Davies replaced Lamb in 1977, Rew replaced Davies in 1978, and Matthew Seligman replaced Metcalfe in 1979. The band broke up in 1980 after Underwater Moonlight and briefly re-formed in 2001 and 2002 for the 20th anniversary of that album.
