How do the various members of Terrorvision spend their time these days?

I'd download them if i could find them.
It's all your fault, Ian.

I never realised what they were singing about until about 3 years later... and I was so excited to meet two of the band when I was 15. That first album was ace.

...and I quote:

Kerbdog supporting the Posies, 1996. Kerbdog were an Irish grunge band who were crap. But the funniest thing was the audience completely ignoring them and staying as far from the stage as possible, except for three kids who were moshing furiously into each other in front of the stage. Hilarious.

I'm proud to say that those three kids were (and still are) my best chums. I showed rare restraint and declined to join in with that lonely lonely moshing. Though at a third-full Pusherman gig, I was the SOLE person holding onto the metal guard at the front of the pit, moshing away like my life depended on it. I often wonder what the band thought of that - did they appreciate the devotion they inspired in that young kid, or were they horribly embarrassed by it?

Real TV. I saw them support the wildhearts. I also saw Baby Chaos support the wildhearts.

Three Colours Red were a poor mans Wildhearts for the NME/Melody Maker readers who were scared to RAWK.

Great american band here ian, but it will remind you of being 15 because we spoke about this years ago when i 1st met you. Girls Against Boys. Kerrang used to love them but despite their support they just didnt cross over.

same with Urge Overkill and the fabulous God Machine.

I gave up on Therapy? with Infernal Love. It was an awful awful album. But the 2 early eps and the Nurse album still hold up very very well and Troublegum is stil a good album too.

Although "Old Folks" was pretty great, I suppose.

*any shite bands I saw were because they were on a bill with people I did want to see, I swear I have no regrets about any bands I paid money to see ever

No no no!! "Infernal Love" is fantastic, think of it as the In Utero to "Troublegum"'s Nevermind.

The one after ("Semi-Detached") was great too, though it all went a bit bleh after that (started sounding far too much like the Wildhearts, oddly).

And Morgan Nicholls plays bass for the Streets (and covered for Muse's broken-fingered bassist at festivals last year).

Swygart's a big fan.

... quick Google ...

Cass Browne.

Reef were terrible, but they didn't trouble the charts for very long.

IT'S YOUR LE-TTERS!
IT'S YOUR LE-TTERS!

That Rides album was quite successful. I seen them on that tour (with A, of all people) so I suppose their glory period is a lifetime for some of the acts in here

a poll for britishers - Did you own any of the "Shine" compilation cds?

Mark e get in here

morgan nicholls also did that M.Organ thing. he released a rather ace single with his brother i seem to recall.

ooooh yes .. i love love that track .. (miss parker)

re terrorvision : i need to hear the debut again .. been buried deep in the archive for 20 years ...

I can't hate "Oblivion" for some reason.

seems the most appropriate thread for this

Tony Wright has been on tour with Ricky Warwick.

http://planetmosh.com/ricky-warwick-and-tony-wright-announce-july-acoustic-on-tour/

lol

Ricky Warwick and Tony Wright announce July “Acoustic On Tour”

that might be the single most depressing sentence i've ever read

Naw that would be "Ricky Warwick touring in Thin Lizzy replacing Phil Lynott"

depending on who's in the Lizzy lineup that would still be more entertaining than Acoustic On Tour

Tell me more about the Wolverhampton Slade Rooms

should have called them the Slade Roomz

i have no idea, all i know of Wolverhampton is the Mol and Woolworths and i'm assuming the Woolworths has gone

what happened to Tony Wright, did Never Mind The Bollocks stop calling him

Buzzcocks ffs

Acoustic On Tour doesn't really sound very much in the spirit of Slade to me.

Mama Weer All Janglee Now

not sure I want to hear about Tony's long, dark night of the soul, or alternatively a bunch of Terrorvision and Almighty songs on the acoustic guitar

Almightyvision

i like to picture this has Tony just playing "Tequila" 8 times in a row to 3 blokes on the bandit

I hope shutty is on bongos for both acts

Tony will be presenting Acoustic TV alongside Milly (from Terrorvision) and exploring a host of old and new songs in the acoustic format.

Acoustic On Tour will be featuring classics from Thin Lizzy, The Almighty, Black Star Riders, Terrorvision and Ricky and Tony’s solo projects.

Milly was the trumpet player in Terrorvision from 2005 onwards, which doesn't feel like an intrinsic part of the band to me.

I kind of wish Ricky Warwick had done this tour with Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones instead, then he could have called it Christ Almighty.

I suppose they relax with some chick called Alice and constantly ask her "what's the matter?"

so my band is supporting Tony Wright as Acoustic TV in Milton Keynes on Friday. Big tings!

So were Terrorvision the unnamed band in the Luke Haines'(of the Auteurs) spectacularly bitchy autibiography?

excellent news dog latin! i trust you will blow him off stage

steady on, i liked them when i was younger but not that much.

wahey!

:)

How did it go DL?
