The roots of Simple Minds are in the short-lived punk band Johnny & The Self-Abusers, founded on the South Side of Glasgow in 1977.

Ditching the stage names and the overt punkiness, the remaining members continued together as Simple Minds ( naming themselves after a David Bowie lyric from his song " Jean Genie ").

In January 1978 Simple Minds recruited Duncan Barnwell as a second guitarist ( allowing for an optional two-guitar lineup while also enabling Burchill to play violin if he wanted to ).

Findlay also owned Zoom Records ( a subsidiary of the Arista Records label ), and used his position to get Simple Minds signed to Arista.

Tony Donald quit in April, before the first Simple Minds demo tape was recorded ( he would later become Burchill's guitar technician ).

The remaining quintet of Kerr, Burchill, MacNeil, Forbes and McGee — generally considered as the first serious lineup of Simple Minds — began rehearsing the set of Kerr / Burchill-written songs which would appear on their debut album.

The first Simple Minds album, Life in a Day, was produced by John Leckie and released by Arista in April 1979.

Possessing a similar AOR crossover potential to that of Simple Minds ' contemporaries The Cars, it also revealed influences by David Bowie, Genesis and Roxy Music.
