Depeche Mode, the Chefs, Tarzan 5: ICA Rock Week, the Institute of Contemporary Art, London

Leyla Sanai, New Musical Express, 5 September 1981

THE SECOND day of the ICA Rock Week sees the immaculate combination of the Chefs, Tarzan 5 and Depeche Mode. The Chefs are high-grade Peelie pop, accessible, catchy, euphonic and slightly uninspiring, with a faultless if faintly languid cover of 'Femme Fatale' to their credit. Tarzan 5 play exigent tribal rhythms and keep up an urgent beat pounding.
