In the summer of 1990 On a Friday dropped their name for a working one, Shindig.

Thom Yorke spray-painted Shindig on his guitar case. Phil Selway was in Ireland, so a school friend, Nigel Powell, sat in on drums for a four-track tape made in the village halls of Clifton Hampden and Nuneham Courtenay. One of its 15 songs became “Maquiladora”.
