A Sheffield based group, formed in 1981 by members of Worksop band Veiled Threat. Singer Elaine McLeod, bassist Derek Taylor and drummer Nigel Fitzpatrick recruited Nick Robinson on guitar to form Red Zoo. Nigel was replaced by Tich Critchlow, Derek by Les Heath (former Veiled Threat guitarist) and upon signing to Polydor Records, the band renamed to Typhoon Saturday. Three singles were released, the third of which featured a sax solo from Raphael Ravenscroft (of "Baker Street" fame) but the band split. Tich formed Living in a Box with a friend of Les's.
