Jimson and The Steroids Connection

If you type in Google, “Jimson Lee Steroids“, you are in for a big surprise.

The Steroids is a musical band from Wellington, New Zealand.

The band comprises of guitarist/singer Alan Jansson (but known as Alan Jimson), Andrew Dray (Bass), and Lee Keane  (Drums).

To my knowledge, they only produced 3 singles back in 1981, in which one of them was titled “Shadows”.  (Cover & Mp3 below)

After The Steroids broke up, Alan Jimson played with Body Electric, then produced and co-wrote OMC’s (or Otara Millionaires Club) worldwide 1995-96 hit “How Bizarre“.

Who would have thought a country known for kiwi fruit, lamb and sheep would produce fantastic talent.

So there you have it.  Alan Jimson and The Steroids.
