I last went to Spiders about 5 years ago. It was full of 16 year-old emo/nu-metallers. I felt like a paed just being there. I don't think I can ever go back again unless somebody slips me acid or ket. Which would be nice, but still, I fear the party is over.
Love, noodle.

This one would do the trick tooThis is the thread where we reminisce over not particularly good Evening Session bands from the late 90s

bubblegum/roadrunner/whatever. all the same to me. six pints each in happy hour, two joints (rolled in the bogs under the ever-watchful nose of g4vin the servitor [1]), as much vodka as i could neck ... funny, i don't remember much about anything after that. except that i NEVER PULLED. (still: those of you that have seen that shirt pic i posted on the "used to look like" thread will understand that.)
grimly's ace keith fact: i once wandered upstairs at potterrow, where keith was playing the weatherall remix of "soon". in my staggeringly young/naive/drunken/stoned state, i thought keith was actually MIXING MBV WITH SOME OTHER WEIRD SHIT LIVE IN FRONT OF ME, and stood there gawping until the painful need for more artificial stimulus took over (ie about 3 seconds).
[1] what a truly horrible fucking word! the student newspaper should have campaigned against it. oh ...

* I just wanted to go to Piper and drink myself diabetic but I was forced to listen to D und B DJs. It was good tho. But I was scared by lithe bouncy kinders who were probly at Primary School when I last cared about D und B.

I was in a band called Sensoria (because we were all Cabs fans, obv). We were aiming for a cross between "Snake Hands Forever"-era Head Of David and Ministry, everyone thought we sounded like the Sisters. THIS MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR SINGER BEING AN ELDRITCH CLONE. We played with The Hunters Club and it all went a bit wrong somewhere - I remember being smuggled out to avoid fights. Which didn't stop us getting signed that night. Gary and I eventually ended up in Goat Science, which was more or less the Varikose Veins with me on bass (them having mutated into Forkeye).
For anyone trying to work out who I was generally, I was the DON'T LAUGH YOU FUCKERS painfully thin guy with the pretty long hair who used to hang about with Claire With The One Arm (she was friends with my ex-wife).

like i say, i never gothed up beyond wearing an unfeasibly long earring (with an asymetrical haircut) and a black jumper with holes in it. by the time i was at potterrow, i was busy rocking the "total wanker" look:

Yes.
But I tend to think of it as Shadow as we only ever played the Shadow mix, because the Krush version was rubbish. Shadow made it good. It's got a sample of Prince Geno and the Tailor Mades at the end too, which is great.

HI DERE!
We HAVE to do this
right, YES. how? anyone?
Right, pick a city first. Glasgow or Edinburgh? Then we can work on logistics from there.
btw, I absolutely do not want to be a student again under any circumstances ever.

No it wouldn't because I'm not talking about the late 90s and I'm not naming not particularly good bands. But whatever.
(that thread is awesome, btw. Also I have discovered that I actually own a single by Blaggers ITA. And that Matty Blag is now dead)

Revive, since some drunken japery in the pub last night has led Grimly and I to start discussing the possibility of making Club 30 Something a reality.
I found this thread by googling for "teethgrinder" :-)

I'd like to start an indie disco.
And when all the cool indie kids had come inside with their cool indie haircuts, blazers and ironic lunchboxes I'd lock the doors, nail their palms to the walls and play Reign in Blood over and over again until they all bled to death.
I don't think that's unreasonable.
