    Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias

    Comedy rock band Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias formed in Manchester in 1972.

    A lot of the humour from the Albertos’ was hit and miss, though they wrote good tunes – not the words, just the music. Not incredible, but good, although even their best – the admittedly hilarious Snuff Rock EP – was flawed.

    Les Prior died on 31 January 1980 from leukaemia.

    Granada Television aired a six-part comedy series in 1982 called Teach Yourself Gibberish, written by Chris (CP) Lee and featuring the band.

    With a new song from the group each week, the surreal sketch show was intended for late-night viewing but Granada chose to screen it as a children’s show at teatime on Fridays. The group called it a day shortly thereafter.

    Tony Bowers joined Durutti Column and, later, Simply Red. Jimmy Hibbert worked as both a writer and a voice on children’s TV show, Count Duckula.
