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

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

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.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:46 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

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).

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?

Affectian (Affectian), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:55 (eighteen years ago) link

The liverpool band.........Cecil.

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.

Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:00 (eighteen years ago) link

... who according to t'Interweb was also in the appalling Vent 414, obvious lowering of standards there ;)

Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I hope you are going to play some of these bands at Clique, Ian ...

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?

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:11 (eighteen years ago) link

It was. Thats what reminded me of him hosting that program.

Woody from Madness was in Fat.

I loved Symposium/Midget/Snug/3CR/A et al when i was 14/15. All good fun. Not enough also-ran-indie these days :)

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).

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:19 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

This confession by Affectian has made my day.

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.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Best nostalgia thread ever! Some questions:

Am I right in thinking that the lead guy in Headswim had the fantastic name Clovis Dilweed?

Infernal Love: bad album, but didn't David Holmes do some production on it (between track static and that kind of thing)?

Oh, and I saw (the awful) Apes, Pigs & Spacement supporting the Wildhearts on what was supposed to be their farewell show- wasn't the lead singer of A,P&S responsible for Candyflip, and their baggy version of "Strawberry Fields"?

I spent *far* too long reading Kerrang! as a teenager!

Neil Stewart (Neil Stewart), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:56 (eighteen years ago) link

How I got into Red Kross, actually, & prepare for this awesome example of gratuitous namedropping - one of the l-face london gigs was senseless things/leatherface/redd kross/local s3-ish band I was sat on the balcony in the bands area next to THE BASSIST FROM THE SENSELESS THINGS!!!1!!1 come on, admit you're impressed ;) he was ok iirc, but he wasn't impressed w/RK "oo the fack are these, there are facking shit" etc. I thought they were great, easily the best band on the bill.

Pashmina (Pashmina), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw Redd Kross twice when show world was out. Once at the Glasgow Cathouse and once supporting Foo Fighters.

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Ha, this is terrific. At one point in my life Terrorvision were streets ahead in the hot battle for Band I Had Seen Live The Most Times (seven, I think)

DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:02 (eighteen years ago) link

The first Compulsion album is quite good. Then Green Day got massive and Compulsion went pop-punk for their 2nd album, which was pretty crap. I sold it for about 50p on Ebay recently!

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:03 (eighteen years ago) link

If you insist on crowbarring Leatherface into this then it seems decent to also mention China Drum, Snuff etc

DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:04 (eighteen years ago) link

one of China Drum used to live about 5 doors down the hill from me!

Pashmina (Pashmina), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I lost my glasses in the moshpit at a Snuff/China Drum gig! The lead singer of Snuff gave me them back! I only know this because my friend told me the next day I was too drunk to remember anything about Snuff playing :(

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:07 (eighteen years ago) link

A great band from these times would be Warrior Soul.

RAW Magazine was great. It covered loads of indie/alternative bands that Kerrang hadn't started covering yet(preferring the likes of Skin or more trad rock/metal bands at the time- how things change!) and it was my gateway to discovering Sebadoh, when Bubble & Scrape got a 5/5 review. Same with Sugar. Which actually was no3 in the albums of the year poll that year . (its a shame rocklist.net have removed the RAW lists) but get your nostalgia fix from Kerrang instead
http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/kerrang.html#1991
Scroll all the way down to 2005 and relive it all!

Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw Warrior Soul at Donnington 1994. Wasn't the lead singer a bit of a nutter?

Would the 60ft Dolls fit here? Probably more NME than Raw, but some snotty punk goodness. Their Happy Shopper single is one I still hum to myself occasionally.

Neil Stewart (Neil Stewart), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:20 (eighteen years ago) link

In the early to mid 90s there was a lot of crossover between MM/NME and RAW/Kerrang.
So much so that RAW actually became a britpop mag for 2 issues before disappearing forever. The Bluetones on the cover of RAW is just something that should never have happened.
