I saw smaller at the Hillsborough Justice concert. They were great as well - that song 'wasted' by them is ace.

Nearly all liverpool bands listed,make sure you check shack out as has already been mentioned,best band to ever come out of liverpool for me and good reds to :thumbup:

Didn't know OMD were Liverpudlians. They came to Ottawa, Canada when I lived there and I rode in the elevator with them. They were doing a radio interview and I was picking up a record I won.

"It worries me this kind of thing. How you hope to live alone and occupy your waking hours...."

 

Confessions of an OMD groupie-

I once gave Malc Holmes' girlfriend Julia a sanitary towel when she was caught short in the Royal Court.

 

Ace gig. The immortal Howard Jones as support and China Crisis pissed in the bar.

 

In summary - Teardrop were better than Echo and if anyone's old enough to not do as much dope anymore and therefore has Sat/Sun morning's free check out Jules' guide to stone circles for ideas for summat to do.

[Stu Monty]

Cannot believe I forgot them.....OOBERMAN!

 

Class band, exactly what pop music should be.

 

Any curious downloaders should look at these for a start:

 

Roll me in cotton

Shorley Wall

Million suns

Couldn't agree more about Ooberman, Shorley Wall still sends a shiver down my spine whenever I hear it, reminds me of a ex love. Amsterdam are worth a shout, if only for Does This Train Stop On Merseyside, fantastic song.

[Mags]

Is right on the Shack shouts.

Anyone who hasn't heard them, get on them.

[al daas]

Cook da Books, one of Peter (Digsy) Deary's ealier bands, I used to drive them all over the country in the early eighties, a very popular band wherever they played.

Indeed, a cracking article. Now, where does our good friend Elvis hide his sausage......YES! In the loins of Canadian artist Diana Krall.

Another Oob fan! Great band, shame they went their separate ways. Great songs but my fave is probably Golden Fall (B side to Shorley Wall)

[Guest Kaelin]

The Pies. cant say how good they are tho, last song i heard was in 96 and i was wasted lmao but there from somewhere in liverpool

Did his sausage come out red with a little maple leaf - after it had been in Canadian Di ? :whistle:

[Guest MMMMMM]

Pele - renamed Amsterdam these days?

 

Not heard any recent stuff but this thread got me digging out 'Fireworks' - still a good listen.

Just moved to London, got an album out soon, I think. They're two Irish lads, an Italian and another European who ended up in Liverpool. Set Me Free is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head.

What happened to The Crescent? They were tipped to do well weren't they?

[Guest TK-421]

The Bandits, Michael Head The Magical World Of The Strands. Also Michael Head is part of Shack which are one of best bands on the planet, in my opinion. They used to be called The Pale Fountains which are still very good

Its free. Looks ok. I'm not going like, busy that night.

[alexjames]

It's been a while, so are there any new bands worth checking out?

 

How do you like the Wombats, by the way?

[Cunny]

Cranebuilders were quite good, not sure if they are still going though.

I quite like 'The Maybes?'

 

Recently been signed by a major and are currently doing their debut alb. We used to play ocassional show with them in Liverpool/Manchester about 5 years ago, so it's nice to see they're doing well for themselves.
