B-Movie were a futurist band from Mansfield active in the first half of the 1980s. They were signed to the Some Bizzare record label and had a track 'Moles' featured on the original Some Bizzare Album .
In 1981 they had their biggest UK commercial success when their single 'Remembrance Day' reached 61 in the UK charts narrowly missing out on a crucial Top Of The Pops TV appearance.The follow up single 'Marilyn Dreams' failed to chart. In 1982 they released 'Nowhere Girl' which made the Top 10 in many European countries and reached 68 in the United Kingdom, but there was no follow up and no sign of an album. The popular webcomic Nowhere Girl was named after this single.
Keyboard player Rick Holliday left in 1983 to form Six Sed Red with Soft Cell associate Cindy Ecstasy.The rest of the band re-surfaced in 1984 with the single 'A letter From Afar' produced by John "Jellybean" Benitez but this failed to chart. Towards the end of 1985 they finally released an album with Sire Records called 'Forever Running' containing re-recorded versions of the two hits but both it and the single 'Switch On Switch Off' were flops despite a tour to promote them.
