I would love to have seen the Posies on the frosting on the beater tour. Loved loved loved that album.

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've been listening to 'Kill The Sexplayer' by GVSB recently, it still stands up. 'Disco 666' ain't too bad either.

Affectian (Affectian), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby was my fave.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:07 (eighteen years ago) link

SugarComa!

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Actually, "Anthem" by the Wildhearts is a fantastic song, I'm gonna go download it right now. I do love how the Wildhearts will randomly release a single every couple of years, it goes top 30, and then you don't hear from them for another 18 months at all.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:10 (eighteen years ago) link

I had to review a Wildhearts gig a couple of years back, it was rotten. They did a cover of the Cheers theme. Even their hardcore fans seemed a bit put-out at that.

Affectian (Affectian), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I gave up on them when they played a gig that was all stuff off their not out yet new album. and no oldies. It was a terrible sound too. and Ginger was a wanker.

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.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Wasn't the lead singer of 3CR one of the Wildhearts' younger brothers?

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:23 (eighteen years ago) link

2 bands I REALLY despised were The Little Angels and The Quireboys.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Three Colours Red were rubbish. My ex-flatmates supported them once and I was made to go along. A (possibly the least googleable band of all time) might also have been involved as well, or maybe that was another time, but they should maybe be on this thread as well.

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:26 (eighteen years ago) link

A are a truely horrendous band, and their brief period as a legitimate chart act around 2002 was a dark era for British music.

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

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:27 (eighteen years ago) link

A were horrid. The singer sounded like Sting. They seemed to be a sting loving record execs idea of a rock band.
UGH!!

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I *know* they were rubbish. I saw them live!

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I bet you saw lots of other rubbish bands back when you were a student.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Now I remember why I listened to so much american music in the 90s.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:35 (eighteen years ago) link

No, I was a thoroughly discerning young lady with flawless and impeccable taste*. I only saw A, as I said above, because my flatmates were supporting them.

*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

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Ben Harding of the Senseless Things was in 3CR IIRC.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Remember Blameless? I saw them and Real TV supporting the wildhearts at the Queens Hall in Edinburgh.

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).

Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Ben Harding of the Senseless Things was in 3CR IIRC.

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

ooh blameless.. i'm really going to have to go through my tape collection and find out what gems, i mean bad choices i made when i was a teenager.

jellybean (jellybean), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:50 (eighteen years ago) link

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

jellybean (jellybean), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I remember that Morgan thing, didn't it have his younger brother yipping on about how much he fancied his teacher? It wasn't bad that, good gimmick. And didn't a Senseless Thing go onto do Delakota?

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:58 (eighteen years ago) link

"Miss Parker" by M.Organ/Morgan was released about 214 times, and didn't chart on any of them.

Swygart's a big fan.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:59 (eighteen years ago) link

It was the Senseless's drummer who did Delakota

... quick Google ...

Cass Browne.

What was the 90s rock band that Woody from Madness was in? I remember seeing a video on Alternative Nation I think it was. When Miles Hunt hosted it on MTV.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Vent 414 was Miles Hunt, yes?

Honeycrack had some awesome songs. i especially liked their cover of "hey bulldog". baby chaos had a song that went "wash my head and wash my clothes/break my face and break my nose".

Blameless! That's the band I was going to post about but someone beat me to it. They were actually pretty good.

And that (albeit american) band Brad - they released a really really good album that was sort of Pearl Jam meets classic Soul (a lot better on tape than on paper).

Not quite the same style but somehow I just got an image of the naked woman on the front of all the Electrafixion stuff.

dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 00:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Brad was Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam wasnt it?
I think the singer was the guy from Pigeonhed.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 00:46 (eighteen years ago) link

it was Morgan Nicholls, not Cass Browne, in Vent 414 (alongside Miles Out Of The Wonder Stuff, Billy Duffy Out Of The Cult, and Pete Howard Out Of The Clash, No Really He Was, Before Mick Got Sacked And All). Cass is a live and occasional studio Blurilla these days though (is Morgan sometimes too? he was on most of the Delakota album).

kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 01:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Troublegum is one of the best albums ever. Therapy? deserved much more.

Brian O'Neill (NYCNative), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 09:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't remember any Vent 414 at all (thankfully).

This confession by Affectian has made my day.

Sororah T Massacre workin' on electropop remix of Pretend Best Friend not really, Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Cass is a live and occasional studio Blurilla these days

He also went to Mali with Damon Albarn for that album. Delakota did one single on London Records after that first (Polydor) album and that was that, I think.

Too bad nobody knows what all of these Evening Session people are up to. I would love to know about the office, shopkeeping or civil service jobs.

Don't you remember him discussing this way back on the old nme chat? (does that still exist?)

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:46 (eighteen years ago) link

This is like the hard rock version of that awesome lammo evening sessions thread.

I remember all of these bands, and even did onstage monitor mixing for leatherface at a couple london gigs, so I might have been at gigs some of you were at, way back in 199x. Redd Kross I still like loads, or at least "Phaseshifter" by Redd Kross I still like loads. A happy-hardrock classic! in places it sounds kinda rundgren-ish.

Pashmina (Pashmina), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:47 (eighteen years ago) link

never liked terrorvision, but compulsion were great live.
the fact that the bands lead singer then became a big beat producer, and now helps out U2 with their remixes and suchlike completely baffles me.

mark e (mark e), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Redd Kross are a wonderful band norm. Pick up the Neurotica reissue. Its a fab fab album.(I love all their albums, i'm a fanboy)
They have reformed and are making a new album too.

x-post. I have 2 Compulsion albums. I played them not that long ago and they seemed to hold up quite well.
I'd be happy to YSI them if needed.

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 hope shutty is on bongos for both acts

Algerian Goalkeeper, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 14:14 (ten years ago) link

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.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 24 July 2013 02:43 (ten years ago) link

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.
