Intaferon was a short-lived English new wave duo, consisting of Simon Fellowes and Simon Gillham.[1] They were signed to Chrysalis Records.[2] Their song, "Get Out of London" (produced by Martin Rushent) was featured in the 2001 Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie Winning London.[3]
Singles were often featured on the channel four show Max Headroom.[4]
Simon Fellowes, after releasing two further albums as Simon F[5] and another using the moniker F Machine, is now an author. He has two published novels - Don't Breathe the Air,[6][7] and My Name is Ferdinand [8] (Strata Books). Both novels feature large amounts of sex and drugs and lots of women "getting banged". A third novel was planned for the series, entitled 10 Dead Mexicans but was never published.
Simon Gillham gained a BA and an MA in Philosophy and undertook a PhD on Nietzsche, then embarked on a career as a Philosophy lecturer. In 2015 he formed the band "Used To", releasing several singles.
