Can't be 100% sure, but I think that's a whoosh.Originally Posted by RichardM
No - it is a whoosh!
Some student nurse dragged me to see the mission with that idiot Wayne hussey in charge , total crap , fecking led Zeppelin student goth bunch of posers
She shaved her armpits which was nice
Specials in Sophia gardens early 80s , maybe supporting the Jam , claret everywhere
A band called "Send More Paramedics" in Barfly about 12 years ago.
I was a fan of going to the smaller venues and seeing unknown bands etc and judging by the name I thought these would be a sort of emo/punk teen band.
I was wrong, they were some gothic zombie looking band with even bigger nutters following them, each to their own.
Not saying they were bad at what they did but it wasn't for me.
I was on a date with a bird too, she wasn't into that sort of stuff either, didn't see her again.
and me
Its funny what you take from Gigs though, The sound was crap aswell, but the night wasnt too bad, the queues for the bar were massive, the first time we got 16 pints of Smirnoff Ice ( 2 bottles poured into a pint glass, they wouldnt let you take the plastic bottles ) they gave you pints in them 4 pint cardboard holders , took them back to the seating area and drank them, then my brother went and ordered double that, 8 pints of Smirnoff ice each to beat the queues, imagine 2 blokes carrying 4 of them 4 pint trays each, if you stacked them and tucked them under your chin it worked fine, we were getting hammered by this time, and more importantly, beating the mugs who were standing in the queue and buying a pint a timewe felt like kings, pissed kings, but kings never-the-less
one last round we say, i didnt realise the cost of it, each bottle was 4 quid, 2 bottles in a pint glass, 4 pints on a tray, when it came to my round i almost fell over with the shock, we only went to the bar 3 times though LOL
I saw that. 'gonna get myself connected' by stumbling around in baggy jeans on stage sounding like you are shouting through a bean tin connected to a length of string. You could wear baggy jeans back then as you know.
Saw Xzibit supporting Eminem at london docklands in his first UK tour, must have been the anger management tour i guess, felt a little uneasy with loads of black fella's walking around like gangsta's looking at me like the only white in the village
A few years on, took my brother to enimem him at Milton keynes bowl, completely different Vibe with the audience, middle class england and arrived
a tale of 2 crowds, very different
Was struggling to think of one, then this beauty popped up.
We left when the old 'Grandstand' tune was played. Still not sure if that was a purposeful pisstake, or a desperate grab at extra time whilst they sorted out the technical problems. Regardless, I convinced my Ex wife that the then still open Hippo would provide a better evening.
I can't quite remember what happened in there (usual story) but I do remember going back to the Millenium for the end of it and a taxi home. All in all, a crap night which enforces my opinion that NYE should be done at home with good friends!!
they played a nightclub in Cardiff in the early 90's if my memory is correct, only one of them 5 song efforts
Kickers and baggy jeans
They were most def of 'they're time' good luck to the f00kas though.
They are still going. They played Merthyr Rising this year.They were most def of 'they're time' good luck to the f00kas though.
Well f**k me. Original line up still. The singer/mc looked like he was always starving. so he has done well. All credit to them.
Starving is being kind. Looked like a smackhead.
I didn't go do down on the Saturday, so didn't see the MCs myself. Was down there on the Sunday. Alabama 3 headlined and were very good.
Aah the hippo, Used to be bogies until late house replaced even later rock n roll. Them was some times. Tom Tom's before that and before that 3wise men over the way under gw's.
The dude from Alabama 3 makes death mask.s It;s on Radio 4 I player.
Every Friday and Saturday nights.
Seen a couple of bad Fall shows. Saw Hole in about 2004, that was about the worst. Apart from that, seen a ton of shit bands at festivals, support bands at clubs etc. Understandable really as most music is ****ing horrible.
Good night?Every Friday and Saturday nights.
Nice crowd and great night. Can't ask for much more.
