I actually really liked Birds With Ears !!! Not only saw them live at some of the venues Tom Hark mentions (singer Ian Smith in a frock coat covered with Xmas tree fairly lights), and still have the vinyl version of their one and only album (great tracks - 'Head in my Bag', Eatingest Person', etc), but a band which I played bass in at Sussex Uni once supported them, albeit there were 5 bands on the bill all-in-all!

I am quite possibly alone in this... But that appalling, lumpen, vacuous 'tune' has to be the worst piece of crap ever to have been extruded from any human being's fundament.
How proud we must all be that this piece of musical dog-turd gets chanted every week by countless thousands of brain-dead terrace robots at grounds across the country to help 'celebrate' their teams' goals...
As for 'The Piranhas', their being from Brighton is absolutely no excuse whatsoever...

Tom Hark isn't PROPER Piranhas. And don't get me started on Zambezi.

I've got a red one, he's got a brown one, he's got a picture on one of his, he's got a clear one, he's got a dear one, oh we all love coloured discs.

It was about time I updated my signature...
Ah... the lovely Helen McCookerybook - the object of desire for half the male punks in Brighton.

Good call! They were just about unlistenable. Some art school ponce called, if memory serves, Ian Smith in a top hat who seemed pretty sure he was the dogs bollox. Well he was half right...
Blimey, Ian Smith, had completely forgotten about him, he was the compere for the original Zap club when it first started in the early 80's.
Wonder what ever happened to him and if he's still a knob!

Think it will only be a one off as The Piranhas. as the Sax player now lives in the States and was only over here for a while.
As for Helmer and Grover I believe they are working on some material for a possible new band.

How soon is now?
Grover is in a band called Dates(which is where Sundays rythmn section came from), i'm not sure that him and Helmer are working on anything new. Although interesting on Sunday to that the chemistry is still there between them.
As for somebody above mentioning Zambezi, thats not really the Piranhans, just Grover(I believe). After the follow up to Tom Hark flopped the band kind of folded, and the Grover re-appeared with Zambezi. Unfortunately, IMHO getting involved with Pete Waterman was their un-doing...

Yeah I have the Dates CD indoors. My dad has been to see them live but I have never been sadly.
Grover & Helmer have certainly been writing some new stuff which they performed at Lewes in an unadvertised gig about a week or two ago. Keep an eye out!
