Good Sussex Bands Thread

Did anyone read the first column I had in this weeks 'The Scene'?

 

[dougdeep]

No.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Pretty much! Although they have got some new ones of which "Gerald Durrell's spectacled w*nking bear" (to the tune of "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band") has become a firm favorite with fans of the Fishtastic Four.

Gotta agree with you there. Absolutely hilarious. Just saw them for the first time about two hours ago at the Concorde as part of the Strummer / Peel memorial. Top work fish fellas!

So speaks the man named after a one hit wonder "dance" band.

Oi they were not one hit wonders.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Next weeks featured band are 'The Go! Team'

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Agree with Rougvie on The Go!Team, Ladyflash a dead good track. Nobody's mentioned Electralane yet. Not a bad group.

Have to say that Ordinary Boys are vastly overrated, 80s Matchbox are just regurgitating their old Bauhaus records and Hope of the States are too generic for my liking.

Anyone remember the Chefs' 24 Hours. Absolute classic piece of pop that was criminally ignored by the rest of the world.

 

[Raphael Meade]

who was this weeks column on richie?

still on for covering the toddlers soon?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

This weeks was Ska Gal and the hands of Ra.

The Go! team is next week.

12 Stone Toddler is pencilled in for week after that.

 

[Raphael Meade]

sweet.

EXCELLENT work morris, i shall pick me up a copy from the village shop right now

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Anyone remember the Chefs' 24 Hours. Absolute classic piece of pop that was criminally ignored by the rest of the world.

Oh yes indeedy. In fact lead singer Helen McCookerybook was performing at Attila's Strummer remeberance show at the Concorde yesterday.

"24 hours of every day
you're on my mind and there you'll stay..."
or something like that...

[S'hampton Seagull]

Ok, I know the obvious ones:

- The Ordinary Boys
- 80s Matchbox B Line Disaster
- Hope of the States
- British Sea Power

and have heard rave reviews of The Kooks (going to check them out at their next gig) but are there any relatively unknown bands who people would recomend going to see?

Aren't Keane from Hastings?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Keane are from Battle yeah.
