Steve Took's Horns (1976-1978)
By 1976, Took was back in London and using the bandname Steve Took's Horns, so called after a horned pendant which he habitually wore. By mid 1977, this had solidified into a steady lineup featuring, in what would be the first of several bands together over many years, Trevor Thoms and Ermanno Ghisio-Erba, later better known to Inner City Unit (ICU) fans as Judge Trev and Dino Ferari.
This group recorded a session of three studio tracks - It's Over, Average Man and Woman I Need - at Pathway Studios on 29 November 1977, before going on to perform a gig on 18 June 1978 at the The Roundhouse, as part of "Nik Turner's Bohemian Love-In". Took felt the gig went badly, and decide to split up the band. The Pathway Studios session would be released on CD by Cherry Red in 2004, as Blow It!!! The All New Adventures Of Steve Took's Horns, with the CD also featuring out-takes, remixes and fresh recordings of two other Took songs - Ooh My Heart and Too Bad - which the Horns had been rehearsing.

Famous quotes containing the words steve and/or horns:
“Y’know plenty of people, in their right mind, thought they saw things that didn’t exist, y’know, like flying saucers. The light was just right, and the angle and the imagination. Oh boy, if that’s what it is, then this is just an ordinary night. You and I are going to go home and go to sleep and tomorrow when we get up that sun’s gonna shine. Just like yesterday. Good ol’ yesterday.”
—Theodore Simonson. Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr.. Steve Andrews (Steven McQueen)
“Don Pedro. But when shall we set the savage bull’s horns on the sensible Benedick’s head?
Claudio. Yes, and text underneath, “Here dwells Benedick, the married man?””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
