After Penetration split up in 1979, Pauline Murray (born 8 March 1958) got together with the
Invisible Girls (who also played with John Cooper Clarke). Line-up was: Pauline Murray (vocals),
Dave Rowbotham (guitar), Vinney Reilly (guitar), Robert Blamire (bass), Steve
Hopkins (keyboards), John Maher (drums). John Maher plalyed at the same time also at the
Buzzcocks. Sadly this co-operation didn't last long - little more than an year.
There was very little punk in Invisible Girls records, the music was more like ethereal pop. Their only
LP was producted by Martin Hannett who also had produced Joy Division and it reached n:o 25 on
British chart. First single Dream Sequences peaked at n:o 67 on the British single chart.
