Is that the Grant who lives in the North Stand? Yes, he is very much around, just got married (congratulations!). He's a big Albion fan, and yes, those gigs in his parents kitchen on Davigdor Rd were legendary! (and add The Popguns to the list of bands who played...)

Thanks for this. I remember it from the eighties mainly. Don't think it had a food bar at that point. It consisted of two rooms one with seating and the other was the dance floor. Bands would play at one end of this. Many happy memories of Friday nights which finished at a very early midnight. Then across the road to The Gloucester or 25 bus back to uni.

'I don't think I was at that Charlottes gig but they would've returned to Brighton supporting Ride on their "Play" tour in Spring 1990'
Everyone has that gig that all their mates went to and you didn't! Well the one above was mine, Ride spring 1990 but at the Bournemouth Academy. Still can't remember why I didn't go!
Great Indie thread!

Radiohead, Oxford Venue, June 1992. My mates were late. We played darts instead.

Don't wait for me!
I found this one last night.
I loved the two Pacific E.Ps at the time but I'm not sure the dance track will stand the test of time (much like the Field Mice effort).
EDIT: Woah that's big! Sorry.

I had / have loads of those 'The Catalogue' flexis from my days in record shops - the Cartel rep would always leave a dozen copies or so. Wouldn't be surprised if this one is worth a wee bit nowadays, if only I'd known back then!
Also, never apologise for something being too big.

That Pinterest page is a real Aladdin's cave - I'd quite like my own after seeing that.

My wife was playing some random songs the other day and played a song by Sharkboy. Anyone know much about them? I've got the album Matinee somewhere. First track is really good - languid and melodic. Don't think I ever have the rest of the album much of a chance though. Do we need another thread for Brighton or Sussex bands, or should we keep our fanzine-loving indie fans nostalgia thread all in one place, ie here? I'm happy to stay here to be honest - I'm lazy and don't want to have to revisit multiple threads more than I have to.

Just heading off to Indietracks - well excited!
The download I mentioned in the opening post gets better every listen. This is my current favourite...
Bloody love it.

Saw Ride supporting The Pale Saints at ULU .......... I say I saw Ride, I saw the second half of their set as I was on a roll on the quiz machine.

I love quiz machines. I got a 75 break on Give Us A Break once - £10 jackpot. Saw The Pale Saints a couple of times, but they didn't really hit the heights.

The BIG question of the day is how many people involved in this thread do NOT have this record?

Got. In fact I posted a pic of it way back at the dawn of this thread, I think.
Have a blinding time. Hope the weather is kind, and that Saturday's predicted APOCOLYPSE misses you!
I can't get the download, sadly. STEVE JOBS won't let me.

Yes I also have 'Doing It For The Kids'. Seeing the Jazz Butcher's name on the cover reminds me that, up in the loft I still have half a dozen VHS tapes with episodes of 'Transmission'. I'll dig them out at the weekend and see who were on them.
I bet most also have 'Alvin Lives In Leeds' with the Pop Guns doing 'Bye Bye Baby', the 14 Iced Bears' 'Summer Nights' and Cud making the second best version of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
