Minny Pops
Standstill In Motion
Formed by vocalist/band leader Wally van Middendorp in Amsterdam in 1978, Dutch electro pioneers Minny Pops took their
name from a primitive Korg drum machine. The band released several singles and a debut album, Drastic Measures, Drastic
Movement, on independent Dutch label Plurex before joining Factory Records in 1980. Minny Pops' association with the
legendary Manchester label would see them produced by Martin Hannett, tour with Joy Division and later New Order, and
become the first Dutch group to record a Peel Session. Singles including Dolphin's Spurt, Secret Story and Time were
followed by the acclaimed album Sparks in a Dark Room in 1982. The band released two further albums (Poste Restante and
Fourth Floor) before splitting in 1985. A concert at the Paradiso in Amsterdam on 24 December 1981 would prove to be
their last live performance as Minny Pops.
