Still contracted to Situation Two, Lowery recorded with a fluid lineup of musicians under the King Blank name. Collaborators included Bill Carter of the Screaming Blue Messiahs (on first single Mouth Off), Nigel Pulsford (later of Bush, former Folk Devil Jozajtis, Hugh Garrety, and Kevin Rooney. After 1988's The Real Dirt album and an appearance on Snub TV, Lowery adopted the name 'The Ian Lowery Group' for future work, releasing the album King Blank to * the Ian Lowery Group in 1989, preceded by the single Need, which was described by Penny Kiley of the Liverpool Echo as "Demanding and dirty, loud, simple and repetitive. Four minutes long and not a superfluous second."
