This is the thread where we reminisce over not particularly good Evening Session bands from the late 90s

I love that Mark Goodier jingle.

Skyscraper, Mint 400, Back To The Planet, Frank and Walters, Sultans Of Ping, Kerosene, Fretblanet...all these spell early 90's Evening Session to me!

2/ julio "can someone nuclear bomb this thread?" OTFM haha

3/ "tampasm" what band could ever live up to a name like that?

now that he's back up in Glasgow, Keenan's got the Telstar Ponies going again. The one-off single he did on Geographic was absolutely wonderful and their gigs around the time were simply magical - Pentangle meets Mercury Rev.

Scarfo
AC Acoustics
Warm Jets
Errr, that's it...

I liked Tiger. Molly Half Head were great, especially their song Barney.

What about Bennet - MY MUM HAS GONE TO ICELAND!

i so own.

clive, the singer, guitarist, he works at border books now.

(I was a 15-year-old boy in 1995)

Warm Jets had one good song, which I just ripped for an MP3 compilation the other day, the rest of the album was pants.

I wonder if I'm the only person who owns Ooberman's second album but not their first. I'll have to go a-hunting for it next time I forget I have no money.

Oslo got on Later With Jools Holland once. I remember watching it and thinking they were abysmal.

My sister used to work part time there with the guy from 18 Wheeler and moody SP, I think, c.1993.

I just saw the Witness album for £2.50 in the library. I didn't buy it.

This thread is like being on a board with only me and my ex-girlfriend.

I still think 'That's Nice' is awesome.

I always preferred "Shining In The Woods" to "Race"...

Another lost band - The Sweeney

Anyway: Kingmaker! These Animal Men! Dweeb!

Lock thread.

Didn't Ooberman have one good single and then turned shit? God, I have loads of these bands on NME and MM giveaway CDs. Bless Steve Lurpak, he actually made them sound like they might be good.

So who actually is worth searching out? I found "In The Club" by Kenickie the other day and it rules!

Bellatrix put out three absolutely stone-cold classic singles (Jediwannabe, Sweet Surrender, The Girl With The Sparkling Eyes) so I bought the album. It's alright, but they seem to have sunk without trace.

Nicola Bowery, wife of Leigh! I saw them support Pulp in Manchester. The bloke screamed "Heterosexual couple cuddling in the front row... THAT'S NICE!" and the crowd took a step back. I heart Minty.

Into the fray I throw Marion, 60ft Dolls and China Drum.

Campag Velocet. Magic.

I was going to find this thread and bump it myself after I got an email this morning from Pledgemusic telling me about prospective releases by Senser and Spacehog.

David Keenan was a founding member of 18 Wheeler.

Which will teach me to read through entire threads before sharing nuggets like that.

Need to check one day to see if 'We Are Puppets' is still on the Nice 'n' Sleazy jukebox

This must be the least worthwhile purchase ever: http://www.amazon.fr/18-Wheeler-Band-ensemble-Creation/dp/6131840806/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360845662&sr=8-1

This is the most amazing thread ever. I am so sad to have missed it the first time around. Let me know if anyone wants to revisit. Some choice bands named above...

Does Lamacq play this stuff on 6music? I heard that he claimed someone requested Cud recently. Who on earth would request Cud?

I probably wouldn't request it but i don't skip it when it comes up in shuffle

Would it not be the OG Evening Session stuff, rather than the late 90s era?

well yeah, Cud

Cud released a big box of BBC Sessions not long ago. Fun stuff!

dunno if there's a thread on the OG evening session and i sure as hell wasnt starting one

Cud are awesome. Bibi Couldn't See, Under my Hat, Push and Shove, Eau Water...tons of great songs.

I just listened to their LP! Solid tunes though his voice can be grating. Went on to lead Fixed Stars and Pony Club.
