Bands you had completely forgotten about

[Buzzer]

The Chameleons. Mark Burgess is still touring the albums. Open warfare with John Lever though .

Point of order. No way you had forgotten about them, you're their biggest fan!

Saw them support The Buzzcocks, along with The Members, a few months ago in Manchester.

Gene had been for a Chinese meal pre gig so had to sing sitting down for the whole gig as a bit full.

Great gig though.

I got to know Chris, the bassist with the Members in the late 70s, as he used to hang out at the Nashville up the end of North End Road. I'd seen them, and Nicky Tesco was really shy on stage. I told Chris to get him to jump around a bit. Saw them a few weeks later at the Marquee, and the rest is history

 

[El Presidente]

Point of order. No way you had forgotten about them, you're their biggest fan!

Good point, well made, it's true I have everything they've ever brought out, including the lead singer's 650 page autobiography. Just because I've seen them live 28 times doesn't make me their biggest fan, just makes me a stalker.

80s. The Sound. What a great band. Saw them in some small London gig, and tickets were being sold for New Order's first ever gig in the UK - at Heaven. Great gig, and tickets bought!

In the late eighties and early nineties I shared a house with a mate who was really into the Sub Pop stuff. Being a twee indie kid I didn't think a lot of most of it, but when he played me 'Sliver' and subsequently 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana I thought they were brilliant. I didn't have a lot of time for the earnest bands like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden that got successful on the subsequent grunge wave, but what I did like was the short period of attention given to the US alternative rock bands that shared Nirvana's DIY pop sensibilities.

Might have already been mentioned but the Wedding Present are an awesome band they are supporting the Wonder Stuff on tour going to see them in a couple of weeks. Had Brassneck on repeat on spotify recently excellent song

You are correct that The Wedding Present are an awesome band, but previous music threads suggest them as, quite deservedly, the least forgotten band by some on NSC.

2016's slimmed down 'At the Edge of the Sea' tickets now available:
