Bands you had completely forgotten about

They Might Be Giants. Read somewhere they now mainly do children's albums.

TMBG are still going strong. They have done a couple of kids albums (the first is actually really good in its own right) but still do normal stuff. Birdhouse in your soul was the main one people remember which is a classic track. They had a bit of a comeback over here when they did the theme tune to Malcolm in the Middle back in the early 2000s.

Some of friends had forgotten about 'Pale Saints'. They remembered Ride, Slowdive and Lush ........ but they had forgotten about ' Pale Saint's

Pale Saints, how about Utah Saints.....

The Adventures. Brilliant one off album late 80s. Broken land, top tune

Roachford! NOT a 1 hit wonder, great albums!

 

[Eeyore]

Peter and The Test Tube Babies.......got a mention on BBC Radio Sussex the other day and jogged them from the back to the front of the old memory banks.

One of their members is a regular NSCer !

I also loved the Silencers...great Simple Minds like Glaswegian band little heard of southnof the border but brilliant melodies and song writers.

 

[portlock seagull]

Amazulu. Just the name makes me immediately visualise Rick in the Young Ones. Sniff.

"Am a Norwegian"!

Certainly was, depression is such a bad thing if it goes unnoticed!

At least Billy left the legacy of some great if only too brief tracks...

Absolutely loved this track, bought the album this was on on the back of this single - and regretted it, the rest of the album was pretty mediocre.

Did the same with this lot... Great single, crap album...

Just been reminded of The Au Pairs. Absolutely adored them, and there was always something off-kilter and slightly jazzy about them.

 

[Miximate]

Can't remember any of them.....
