From : 01 / 01 / 2004 BACK TO So lets all wish them both a Merry Xmas and a Createful New Year and be happy with the knowledge that, this time last year T&T were just a memory to cherish and in 2005 that memory will turn into reality once more.... But in the meantime a new dedicated T&T section has come online on The site that covers the 8 acts that were signed to Gary Numan's Numa label between 1984 - 1987 owned, built and maintained by my good friend Karl J Sherlock from USA the T&T section was co-wrote by "Tikky" and a few bits and pieces thrown in from myself... Check it out.... Finally, I'd like to wish each and every one of you out there all the best for the coming holidays...and for your continual support as we move into another new year on line.... See you all in 2005 03.12.04 STOP:PRESS - STOP:PRESS "Tik and Tok unveil their new image for 2005"
01.12.04 Sounds like the Star Wars Convention in Birmingham went off great 20.11.04 Tokky's first interview (including pictures) is now ready for your reading, you'll soon work out that Tokky, just like Tikky, has a great sense of humour. We now need questions for the December Interview... for either Tikky or Tokky or to them both, whichever, get them in quick as you can.... We would like to say thank you to everyone for their support and patients during this quite spell... The boys are working very hard and have very little spare time at the moment..... but hey!! I think it will be worth it... 12.11.04 Let's all sing happy birthday to Tokky for tomorrow 13th Nov...... Best wishes mate 9.11.04 Although things are quiet at the moment with Tik and Tok, the boys will be signing STAR WARS autographs at "MEMORABILIA" at the So if any of you fans in that area want to come along and meet the dynamic duo feel free!T&T will sign whatever you bring along and have always got time for a quick chat. Further details of the event can be found at: 18.10.04 Well.... They decided to leave the interview with the boys out of the programme.... Hey That's Showbiz.... 12.10.04 Well Jason Peacock calculated right and it's now confirmed that the episode of Liquid Assets "Duran Duran's Millions" will be screened at 8pm Sunday 17th October..... See Tik & Tok being interviewed on the programme...... or as case was Another little soundbite from Please don't expect some kind of '80's' revival thing from us. We will not be trying to look or dress like we did back in the day. There will be no fake hair or squeezing into our 'Vile Bodies' costumes. No Robots or Summers In The City. What we want to do this time round is to get back to where we started as an abstract and surreal duo that make unusual music. We're very excited about this, as in many ways it's what we do best. If you think about 'Crisis', 'Cracking Up', 'Psych-Out' 'Theme from the Dome Bros' and 'Soulless Synthetic Heartsteps' you'll have an idea of where we're going to be coming from. Again. It's going to take time to get all this together. So please be patient and vigilant and await the ongoing saga that is and will always be TIK and TOK. Also, for those of you waiting for a TIK & TOK DVD. We've realised that to get clearance for TV clips etc is going to be very difficult (to say the least) from the 4 Terrestrial channels that we appeared on. But we will endeavour to put something together that will satisfy your appetites. We know it's been a long time coming. But hey, what's a 20 year lunchbreak amongst friends? We were in STAR WARS Episode VI "Return Of The Jedi". How long did it take for that to come out on widesceen DVD? Love to you all T&T 2004 September 2004

| Nigel
from Gary site Dead-Heaven
has a collection of pictures covering "SHOCK" + TIK N TOK
+ Pleasure and the Beast and some of the incredible and loverly Barbie
Wilde. Also have a few shots of our man Tim looking as striking as
ever......Nigel decided to post them to give you all a chance to see them
for yourselves. Its a good job people like Nigel keep all their photos
and press cuttings in good condition...Otherwise we would miss out on
certain things that would be lost forever....I dont know if this is going
to be a permanent thing or like a timed event so if you want to check
them out click
22.06.04 Well, the E.P. has been out now for nearly 10 days, and I still haven't got mine yet. Have any of you got a copy yet, I know it retails at £4.99 - shows you how long it has been since I bought a record, I was expecting about £2.99 tops.... My main trouble is not only have I not bought a record for a long time, but I never noticed that record stores don't do vinyl anymore.... OK, told specialist shops carry vinyl. Town were I live has total of none. Thanks for your questions for Interviewing Tim and the Quick Bio section. I will be sending the chosen questions to Tim soon and hope he can find a little slot in his busy schedule to answer them....
" INTOLERANCE 2" Back
in 2000 when Tim decided it was time Intolerance was made available on
CD, thus entering the studio with the great Jules Setfert, from the great
band The Sepia (you must check
out their new web-site, it's brilliant), who remastered Intolerance with
Tim, everything Tim had was given the digital touch...including tracks
which there wasn't enough room for on the original CD release....Tracks
such as A Date with the Palm Sisters, The Garden, and
Robot Music (Full Length Version) plus some unreleased 4 track
demos, remain on a shelf in Tim's studio and Tim feels they would be much
better re-packaged in the form of another albums worth of material, possible
title "Intolerance 2".. This would answer the forever asked
question of what happened too, or was there ever an Intolerance 2.... TIM TO STAR IN GERMAN HORROR MOVIE Tim has landed a role in a German Horror movie called "Walpurgis" which begins filming in Bavaria at the end of this year and maybe into January of next. It's kind of like "Sleepy Hollow" but with crazed Witches riding scythes who terrorise an innocent community of Townspeople by kidnapping babies and doing all sorts of ghastly cinematic stuff! The guy who's directing it was a producer on the Ford Fiesta ad Tim did back in '88 as The Head Devil and that's how he was offered the part...We shall keep you posted as and when news on this project comes through....
03.06.04 In my forever quest to keep alive the legacy TIK AND TOK created, Ive been searching through Gary Numan fan sites and speaking to people on forums etc...Hey some name calling goes on in these places I can say.... but the results have been promising so far concerning the boys...Fans of old and fans that became Numanoids post 1983 have shown a keen interest in finding out more information.... If you are one of these new visitors, on behalf of us all in here, can I say hello and thank you for your interest...No name calling here though mind you...We are all one big TIK & TOK family....Enjoy
GARY
NUMAN
TO PLAY 2 GIGS SEPT 10 and 11th 2004 BEFORE FLYING WEST

thing must be the release of the Tik and Tok EP

11.5.04 HE'S BACK!! After weeks of computer problems and re-configuring new software etc.Tim has emerged poorer but wiser! His answers to the April Interview are here and also his replies to QuickBio 4. Enjoy! 22 - 4 - 2004 MESSAGE
TO ANYONE WAITING FOR If you have ordered an Album on CD from Tim direct, he wanted me to assure you all that, due to problems at his end with his computer, totally unforseen and out of the blue, he is unable at this very moment to produce audio or artwork, thus unfortunately this includes the disc's ordered for Tik and Tok / Noir but he's well on top of the problem with his PC... and all orders will be forfilled within 10 to 14 days.... We appologise deeply for your wait concerning this matter and thank you for your on - going support.... The same problem is keeping us from bringing you April / May Interviewing Tim plus Quick Bio 4, but these things happen, and they will both be available as soon as possible..... So
again on behalf of Tim and myself |

Thank you Another message from Tim Dry on 19.2.04 From reading the guestbook entries and from received e-mails, I get the impression that some of you think that this site is run by and maintained by Tik & Tok, and that we are somehow still in existence. We're not! We haven't been since 1984. This site is here to commemorate and define what the two of us did back in the '80's, and to give all of you fans the info that maybe you never got back then.Unlike other acts from that era who were bands and played music and had hit records, we were something different. Our star shone brightly for a brief while and was gone. Personally speaking, I would love to do it again and to do it right. But, as you know it takes two to Tango, and as one of us doesn't want to dance anymore, the chances of a reunion are slim to say the least. So, in answer to those questions of: new shows, new records etc. the answer is NO. What you've got is what you get. My role is to assist Ziggy in displaying information for you in a way that you've never had before. I love you all very much, and I shall give you what I can. But there will be no Second Coming for Tik & Tok as a living breathing entity. I offer you the chance to purchase unheard and /or re-mastered Tik & Tok tracks on the forthcoming CD EP on the Rephlex label later on this year. In the meantime, let's share our golden moments and cherish what we were. Who knows, if enough of you buy the Rephlex released Tik & Tok CD EP, I might be able to bludgeon Sean into acceptance. But please don't hold your breath. Love to you all. Tim x 16 - 02 - 2004 Personal message from Tim Dry: Speaking on behalf of Sean (Tokky) and myself as TIK & TOK back then, I need to make something very clear. Back in '84 a l guy named CHRIS HUGHES put together 2 issues of a fanzine called "TEK" for the two of us. This was a labour of love (just as is Ziggy's work on this website today) undertaken by this man, and he did something wonderful and innovative. We were so pleased and excited by his endeavours, and endorsed his enthusiasm wholeheartedly. Unfortunately we were misled by another individual who promised us things that never materialised, and by then we'd blown our connection with "Tek". Chris, I am so very sorry that we were misguided and therefore let you down. I hope the following "TEK" pages will vindicate you and your creative belief in the two of us wherever and whatever you are now. All content of "TEK" pages generated by Chris Hughes (c) 1984/5.
As you will have noticed the site has just had a total re - vamp and now just looks a sexy as it could ever be... Thank you for this Tim... You are a star my friend... Plus we now have Tek 1 and Tek 2 online for you all to read and bring back some old memories.. 11 - 02 - 2004 Gary's Mention Well I'd like to say a huge big thank you to Gary Numan for mentioning our site in his second update of the month... and also say a big hello to all the new visitors that have came here because of the link posted by Gary... We hope you enjoy your Tik and Tok experience and become a regular part of our ever growing family of fans who already enjoy everything we have for your entertainment here... Been working hard on this side of things.... trying to come up with things people are hopefully interested in.... Click Tim's Quick Bio which will compliment the Interviewing Tim section as to the fact the new Tim's Quick Bio will deal with and ask the questions that concern Tim as a person and not as Tik or a member of "Shock", just a man called Tim. Questions like favourite colour, favourite time of the day, which TV programs he watches, Magazines he reads etc etc.... Can I say now, if Tim's answers to these questions, fired at him, are as good and as funny as the first ones, I've now got ready to go up, well, we are in for a treat in the months to come....... Thank you Tim for being so honest, interesting and passionate about everything... Can anyone remember the FanZine "TEK" ..... yes...no.... well yet again Jason Peacock has provided us with a rare chance to view the FanZine he has kept since 1984...I think there was only 2 issues possibly only 1.. someone can put me right on that one... anyway you can see it in the From The Fans section, along with another photo and a magazine article, also sent in by J.P. If there were any more issues of "TEK" and you happen to have them...scan them and send them to us and we'll put them on the site. Also from J.P. my first Tik and Tok badge..... thank you Jason for everything Check out the latest update on www.rephlex.com the wait is nearly over folks... The Tik and Tok EP CD now has an official catalogue number CAT 148-EP and it's release date, although still unknown, is sooner rather than later....So get ready for the future, cos things are about to take off I'd like to say congratulations to Jason Peacock and his wife on their new arrival of a Baby Boy... Well done and best wishes from all of us here....Get him in to Tik and Tok as soon as possible mate and thank you very much for all your efforts concerning the amount of stuff you have scanned and sent in cheers.... 06 - 02 - 2004 EP - CD The new EP - CD is still on course for a release before the summer and that's straight from the horses mouth, so we'll still have that to look forward too.....I'll keep you posted with news as and when we get it. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (WELL, AND YOUR EARS TOO ACTUALLY) Plus something you'll all be interested in..... I've received a copy of Tim Dry's video for his massive song "DESTRUCTION", so watch this space as Tim has given his permission for us to sample the video here on the site......Will be here for you in a day or so....................... 24 - 01 - 2004 Still no news on the forthcoming EP - CD At the time of writing this, my E:Mails have gone un-answered over last couple of weeks but that counts for nothing in this business, so all hope is still strong for it's sooner rather than later release. In fact if you are interested and would consider buying it, send me a blank email but put YES as the mail title. Hopefully I'd collect enough names and interested parties to pass on the number of possible sales if released in the near future. I'm hoping we can get in on the action and make it available through the web-site, so fans like yourselves will be able to get it mail order direct to your Hi-Fi. plus we can push the E.P. with more passion than any company could............. so fingers crossed........ So dont delay Email me today...Title:.YES 09 - 01 - 2004 Gary Numan also is playing live Three UK gigs have been arranged for March 2004 March
