Flux of Pink Indians were an English anarcho-punk/post punk band, that originated from Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England.
The band formed from the remaining members of the Epileptics (who later changed their name to Epi-X due to letters of complaint from The British Epilepsy Association) by Colin Latter (vocals) and Derek Birkett (bass guitar) with guitarists Andy Smith, Neil Puncher, and drummer Sid Ation (who was also a member of Rubella Ballet). Their debut EP, Neu Smell, was released on Crass Records in 1981.
Ation departed FOPI to work full time with his other band Rubella Ballet, and was soon replaced by Bambi, formerly of Discharge, while Smith was replaced by Simon Middlehurst. However, both departed quickly for their original band, The Insane. While auditioning for their replacements, Puncher also left, and the line up was completed by former Darlex and Epileptics guitarist Kevin Hunter and drummer Martin Wilson. The band's debut album, Strive to Survive Causing the Least Suffering Possible was premiered on the band's own Spiderleg label.
The band's second LP, The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks, was banned by retailers HMV, and copies were seized by Greater Manchester police from Eastern Bloc record shop, which was charged with displaying "Obscene Articles For Publication For Gain".
By 1986 the band had shortened their name to Flux and released their third album Uncarved Block, produced by Adrian Sherwood, and featuring several members of the On-U Sound Records label.
Birkett, making use of his experiences with Spiderleg, set up One Little Indian Records. He still uses the Flux title for occasional projects. Latter went on to form the dance influenced Hotalacio, and was joined by drummer Wilson and guitarist Middlehurst.
In 2007, the band re-formed for an intended one-off gig supporting ex-Crass vocalist Steve Ignorant for his "The Feeding Of The 5000" gig at London's Shepherds Bush Empire in November of that year. The "Strive To Survive" era line-up (Latter, Hunter and Wilson) was joined by ex-Decadence Within bass player Ian Glasper replacing Birkett, and as a result of their well-received set the band played another three gigs in 2008, in Bradford, Dijon and London.
