* 2) An early new wave band which was part of the English musical scene originated by punk in the 1970s. The group was formed by the American-born singer Ian North, who was the frontman and the only continuous member from the band formation in 1977 to the end in 1979.
In 1976, Ian North (lead vocals, guitar) travelled with the band Milk 'N' Cookies for which he was the guitarist, to London to record a new album but they never made it and the group took separate ways. Only North stayed in London, meeting Brian Eno and Martin Gordon (bass), who a few years previously had founded, with ex John's Children's Andy Ellison, the glam band Jet. North created a new band called Radio and invited Paul Simon (drums), who formed part of Limmie Funk Limited (with Limmie Snell) to join them and completed the line-up. The band was post-punk, but after only one gig, supporting Ultravox! in November 1976, Gordon dropped out. The band recruited George Dyner to replace Gordon, but in April 1977, North took his place on bass and continuing singing, and Paul's brother Robert was introduced on guitar.
According to Paul Simon, Radio (nowadays credited as Ian North's Radio) recorded some songs in the studio, which he remastered in 2007. In mid 1977, Paul Simon accompanied Martin Gordon, forming part of Radio Stars and recording with them "Good Personality", a 7" single, and other tracks, some of which were eventually released on Radio Stars' compilation "Somewhere There's A Place For Us". He was asked to stay with them, but preferred continuing with North in Neo.
Neo
As a three piece band, Radio immediately transformed to Neo. North became the bassist, and in this way the group continued until February/March 1978, when Robert Simon dropped out and formed part of Ultravox. North sacked Paul Simon, and included session players in his project: ex-ZZebra members, Steve Byrd on guitar and John McCoy on bass, and Bryson Graham on drums. They recorded an album in Ian Gillan's studio, and after Gillan heard them, he hired Byrd and McCoy away from North. Gillan and the ex-Neo musicians formed Gillan. Only Graham stayed with North.
North renewed Neo again with Steve Wilkin (ex-Wired and Masterwitch) on guitar, Nick South on bass and Graham on drums, but shortly afterwards South and Graham were replaced by Mik Sweeney and Derek Quinton, respectively. Later Dan Black completed the line-up as keyboardist. That line-up toured with Magazine, doing gigs promoting their single "Tran-Sister", released that year.
After changes of line-ups, Neo split up in 1979 because North had to return to the US. Sweeney joined The News and, later, Classix Nouveaux, Steve Wilkin joined Random Hold, Quinton joined Sector 27, with Tom Robinson, and Black formed Psychic TV.
Following his return to the US, Ian North became a hairdresser and artist.

In Neo's song "Go Go Money," the lyrics are about feeling like an outsider, as though he is from another planet. He emphasizes his unique perspective and approach to life, using multiple references to anime and pop culture to highlight his individuality and otherness, while also boasting about his success. He talks about "killing the game" and compares himself to Hamlet, a character who had to navigate a world that misunderstood him. The lyrics convey a sense of confidence and determination to succeed, even in the face of misunderstanding.
Neo also uses wordplay and puns throughout the song to emphasize his lyrical prowess. For example, he references the cartoon character Inspector Gadget with the phrase "Go Go Gadget," and then later on in the song, he uses it as a metaphor for his own determination. He also makes a reference to Future the rapper and his use of autotune with the phrase "feeling like I'm Future, 'cuz you know I'm 'bout to mask it." The overall message of the song is about being true to oneself and not being afraid to be different.
