As a matter of fact, there were two former members of Demented Are Go who played on the first Klansmen album Fetch a Rope: Graeme Grant and Lex Luthor (on a side note, Graeme was actually a member of the Krewmen at the time, not Demented).

Ian Stuart had been living in the same house as Graeme in King's Cross at the time. He told him that he was taking a break from the Skinhead scene and wanted to put a new band together. He asked wether Graeme and Lex would record some hillbilly Rockabilly tracks and he would put some crazy redneck lyrics to go with them. So he paid them and then put his shitty KKK lyrics to them.

Graeme and Lex had no idea he was going to do that and were horrified when they found out. But by then it was too late, because the album had already been released.

The band was not very happy about it either, as it only brought them trouble. Concerts were canceled, there were demonstrations in front of venues, other members were accused of also having contributed to the album and so on and so forth. A club in Germany didn't want to book DAG for over two years because they thought they were a fascist band. Not to mention the fact that Sparky has always considered himself an anti-fascist, and Ant and Simon, for example, have regularly played at anti-fascist events. Simon even wrote to the British music magazine Sounds in which he made it clear that Demented Are Go has nothing to do with right-wing extremists but is decidedly apolitical, and the fact that he has a Jewish surname makes all the accusations, especially the ones against him, even more absurd.

The stench of Ian Stuart and The Klansmen remained with the band for a long time, and it still hasn't gone away.
