* 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.

Neo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cerita tentang orang yang banyak uangnyo
Sangat mencolok hidup mewahnya
Do re mi fa sol la si do
Tinggal di rumah real estate
Daerah pemukiman elite
Di belakang ada kolam renangnye
Pokoknya gampang mau kemane - mane
Dari mobil jepang sampai sedan eropa
Yang harganya berkisar di atas 100 juta
Bawa sendiri atau pake sopir terserah dia
Dompet selalu ada di saku celana
Bermacam kartu kredit terdapat di dalamnya
Tak perlu bawa uang banyak bila mau belanja
Bila ingin sesuatu cukup gesek saja
*elu borju jangan blagu lagak lu tu sok tau
Ini itu liat dulu karna semua orang bisa begitu
Elu borju jangan blagu lagak lu tu sok tau
Ini itu liat dulu kalo belagu muke lu jauh
The lyrics of Neo's song Borju talk about a person or a group of people who have a lot of money and flaunt their extravagant lifestyle. The song talks about a house they live in, which is a luxurious real estate in an elite neighborhood, complete with a swimming pool at the back. They have various cars ranging from Japanese cars to European sedans which cost more than 100 million rupiahs. They can either drive these themselves or hire a driver to do it for them. The lyrics also mention how they carry multiple credit cards and don't need to carry cash. All they need to do is swipe their card for whatever they want to purchase.
The chorus of the song is an admonishment to these individuals, who are referred to as 'borju'. The word 'borju' is slang for bourgeoisie or someone who flaunts their wealth in a vulgar manner. The songwriter encourages them to look at themselves before they start judging others for not having what they have. The lyrics also suggest that this lifestyle is not unique, and anyone can live like that if they have the money. Overall, the song is a commentary on the excesses and shallowness of materialism.
