The Armoury Show was a band of the 1980s. The band was named after the Armory Show, a famous 1913 modern art exhibition in New York. They released only one album, "Waiting for the Floods", in their brief existence.

Previously Richard Jobson and Russell Webb were both members of the band The Skids, while John McGeoch and John Doyle had both been in Magazine, with McGeoch also appearing in Siouxsie & the Banshees and collaborating for The Skids in a Peel Session in 1981.

In 1986, after the releasing of the album and the next tour, McGeoch left and joined Public Image Ltd. and Doyle collaborated with the Buzzcocks singer/guitarist Pete Shelley, being Jobson and Webb as the remaining members until 1988 when, after some material releases in 1987, they announced the band split up. Webb dedicated a solo career (according to the band's fansite) and in 1992 followed the steps of McGeoch in Public Image Ltd., and Jobson returned to a temporal solo career.
