Get your own festival, grunge boy!

I'll come so I can moan, drink Blastaways, and mosh Crusties in the face. You'll be needing the 1000 Homo DJs version of "Supernaut" too, I reckon.

― Leopold Boom! (noodle vague), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Crusties!

Senser "Eject"

― Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Fugazi's "Waiting Room" was pretty ubiquitous too.

― Leopold Boom! (noodle vague), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

This game is basically me trying to remember what they played in Spiders in 1991, even tho I was drunk for the entire year.

― Leopold Boom! (noodle vague), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, I give up, what exactly is a "student disco"?

― musically (musically), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Mary, if ya gotta ask...

― Leopold Boom! (noodle vague), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

30 Something i would come to this.

seeing as Kiss (Age of Chance) has already been sorted, could i please request 'sold down the riiiiiverrr' by the three johns please.

― mark e (mark e), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link

New Model Army, "Vengeance" or possibly "No Rest".

― Leopold Boom! (noodle vague), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

or "Green and Grey" for the full hand-waving effect

― Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

It seems like a British thing...

― musically (musically), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

VENGEANCE! i'd forgotten all about that song! GOD DAMN BEING AT WORK, I WANT TO GO HOME AND DOWNLOAD!

"Epic" by Faith No More!!!!

heheh, i bought "the real thing" on CD for a fiver on saturday and have been re-living the glory days of listening to it while smoking industrial quantities of tabs in my mate's car ever since.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

erm nineties retro nites exist already. not to spoil things.
also can we get a decent definition of "indie kid" cos people who like the fratellis and people who wear skinny trousers and likely to get down to snow are possibly not the same people. they might overlap thou. the "indie kids" with the trousers tend to like plan b; probably like booka shade and mia and rihanna as well as the klaxxons or whatev.

― acrobat (elwisty), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

You bastards have made me think of Teenage Turtles by Back to the Planet and I hate you all.

(I own it on 12", for some reason I shall attribute to the shit I accumulated during several years of hanging round the student paper cadging free stuff, so we can play it when we do this club which I really really want to do despite the great distances separating the half-dozen folk who might actually attend)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

acrobat, I think for the purposes of this thread now we are talking about "big-stripey-jumper-wearing cider-swilling NME/Select/Melody Maker-reading students of the early 1990s in the UK".

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

haha this thread got good

― eh (fandango), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link

ailsa reminds me of my old english teacher. in a good way.

― acrobat (elwisty), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmmm.

This threads need some "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" on it.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 05:53 (seventeen years ago) link

If this takes place at Potter Row, I AM THERE.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 08:09 (seventeen years ago) link

sadly, potterrow has gone all upmarket :(

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 08:29 (seventeen years ago) link

No Headhunter, no credibility.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 08:37 (seventeen years ago) link

The basement of Teviot still has electro-goth-industrial-tech-thrash-gabba-horror-core nights, though.

― alext (alext), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 09:28 (seventeen years ago) link

What the fuck is an indie disco and how is it different from any other club?

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 13:04 (seventeen years ago) link

It plays indie.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 14:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I appreciate that may be a difficult concept to digest.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 14:03 (seventeen years ago) link

No Abba no credibility (student disco kids, not student indie disco)

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

that's wedding disco surely

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

PLEASE DO THIS

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

"Sheela-na-gig"? Check!

― Leopold Boom! (noodle vague), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 15:04 (seventeen years ago) link

And "Motown Junk" so's I can pogo.

― Leopold Boom! (noodle vague), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

recently i was at a wedding in york - and the dj was the drummer from shed 7.
the folks getting wed were ex-goths/crusties.
so this 30-something has actually happened (all
the set by alan was mighty good fun actually, i danced a lot.
not that i remember much of the track selection, as i was caught up in the beer fuelled nostaglia of days gone by.

― mark e (mark e), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 15:42 (seventeen years ago) link

The only possible way to beat that is to get the drummer from Gay Dad to DJ

― Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Nooooooooo!

This game is basically me trying to remember what they played in Spiders in 1991, even tho I was drunk for the entire year.

Do you still go there, though?

(I know someone who DJs there occasionally)

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

As i read this thread i'm propelled back to Potterrow circa 1992. I'd go to 30 something. Did anyone go to Chambers St?

leigh, i'm sure i told you in the pub about how mr T gordon esq and myself got thrown out of chambers street because the bouncer thought we were having a fight. when, in actual fact, we were merely twatting each other drunkenly with pool cues and falling over drunkenly.

i don't remember much about the actual club nights there, though.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 5 October 2006 10:54 (seventeen years ago) link

My main memory of Chambers St is my glasses flying off as i danced to 'Touch me i'm sick" everying else is a little hazy cos i'd downed a bottle of vermouth in bristo square beforehand. Surely 'You made me realise' should be added to that list of top indie disco tunes!

― leigh (leigh), Thursday, 5 October 2006 10:57 (seventeen years ago) link

The last time I mentioned going to Chambers Street somebody called me a rockist and not a proper indie kid.

I remember playing upstairs in Potterrow in about 1992.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 5 October 2006 10:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Chambers St. was home to metal night wasn't it?

― treefell (treefell), Thursday, 5 October 2006 11:07 (seventeen years ago) link

The thing we went to was kind of grungy with a bit of industrial (which i hated)). I was much more indie than my pals, they liked stuff like Ministry and the Revolting Cocks when i was more intersted in TFC, MBV and the pastels.

I can remember seeing Fenn and Velvet Crush upstairs at potterrow in late 1991 or 1992. I think i may have seen Dawson (or was it badgewearer) there too.

― leigh (leigh), Thursday, 5 October 2006 11:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I was never a big frequenter of the unions at Edinburgh.
I only ever saw 2 gigs at Potterow. Ballboy supported by Saint Jude's Infirmary back in the mists of time (I think this was before Ballboy got signed, probably 10 years or so back). Mercury Rev supported by The Flaming Lips. They were touring Deserter's Songs and Soft Bulletin. The Flaming Lips were brilliant.
Kind of off topic, oh well.

Someone who then went on to post on ILM?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 5 October 2006 12:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Where else?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 5 October 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe it was C-Man trolling indie discos..

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 5 October 2006 12:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I might have been at that Ballboy gig. Was that when they had the keyboard player before Katie, and still did a song called 'Planecrashes and Trainsmashes'?

― alext (alext), Thursday, 5 October 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I used to like Potterow - was it called Roadrunner, or is that something else? Lots of drink often involved.

Right, we could really probably do this now, somewhere, in Edinburgh (or Glasgow), couldn't we? And people would go. Hurrah!

(though I'm still holding out for the festival)
