Two words appeared before his mind’s eye on that fateful night: “slowdive” and “slowburn”. The band could have been called Slowburn instead of Slowdive if Nick’s brain alighted on the latter. After Slowdive called it a day, band members Neil Halstead (vocals & guitars) & Rachel Goswell (vocals & guitars) moved on to form Mojave 3 and Christian Savill (guitar) headed off to form Monster Movie
