Bands you had completely forgotten about

[DJ NOBO]

Kingmaker

 

[Dick Head]

Has anyone said Gorky's Zygotic Mynci yet?

 

[Super Steve Earle]

His versions of Strange Fruit and The Internationale are sublime. Always a good reality check for me when I start imagining the tories ain't so bad after all And Shipbuilding. Wyatt is still at it, and still with Ms Benge, bless him.

Pedant Alert: Robert Wyatt isn't still at it - he has retired!

Looking through a box of kipple yesterday I found Spirea X CD.
I don't think they'd crossed my mind for 20 years.

Siam
Wasted Youth
The Lords of the New Church

Heard this lot when queuing to get into the Top Rank - they were supporting James. By the time everyone had got in, they had finished their set

She did the door at C2 a few times. Her and Andy came back as NYPC a couple of years ago with a good album and typically excellent single (Hard Knocks), played a gig in Hoxton and a festival in Afghanistan. Think they are of the age where they don't really want to spend their lives touring though, plus the industry is tighter (and the indie-electro trend has evaporated) since they were at their peak. Also, Sarah is now drumming for Hot Chip, I think.

I'm just listening to the While We're Young film soundtrack, mainly because it's curated and part written by James Murphy. And up pop The Psychadelic Furs with The Ghost in You. I have to admit I only really know their big songs but I'd completely forgotten about them.

Any bands you'd forgotten about? And what reminded you of their existence?

love the psychedelic furs, saw them down west street early 80s. PRESIDENT GAS .... HA HA HA
