(1977 – 1978)

Meaning Bandname: To cause a stir. Make people to think.

Bio: From Amsterdam. Forms before their very first concert in Paradiso, Amsterdam on 9 November 1977 where Martin Kaye deliberately mispelled their name into God’s Attack on the poster. Ed Fels invent the bandname and together with good friend Ronald he writes the lyrics. Ronald quickly recruits people for a band but they also got problems at Paradiso with the bandlogo: a Christcross with its shadow morphing into a swastika. Also they keep problems in getting gigs because of the bandname. Ronald eventually meets drummer Ron in No Fun where he is interviewed by Wonderland, a TV program. He replaces the old one and joins on the single. All are own songs and release their only 7” on the No Fun label by Hans Joustra on 9^th June 1978. This is recorded inthe studio in half a day. Ad joins as a guitarplayer and Ron concentrates entirely on singing. One half form Motorbeat and the other half join Helmettes (their 7” release is God’s Heart Attack with a different singer and Frank Cambach of The Softies) after the split up.
