The The made their debut at London’s Africa Centre on 11 May 1979, third on the bill to Scritti Politti and PragVEC , using backing tape tracks that Johnson created at his day job at De Wolfe studios for the drums and bass. The band at this point consisted of Johnson on vocal, electric piano, guitar and tapes and Keith Laws on synthesiser and tapes. Laws suggested the name the The to Matt Johnson.
