re u going to the Ritz to see puressence later this month (the Thursday before good Friday) ?

Wanted to gout get married 2 days later so too busy

 

Think they gave tkts out with an EP or summat

The La's.

 

Without a doubt, they have some absolutely spell-bounding songs, that didnt make it to release.

 

Check out these :

 

 

Clean Prophet Noel Gallagher ripped this off for, The Importance of being Idle....he even dedicated it to Lee Mavers at a Gig in Liverpool, check twat !

 

 

 

Kitchen Tape - Recorded in John or Lee's Kitchen, the band running thorugh some new tracks (reportedly the 2nd album)

 

These could have been huge !

Little Man Tate,best songwriting since Squeeze

Newer bands

 

The travelling band

Sound of Guns

 

Detroit Social Club

Ocean Colour Scene and Milburn. Milburn were another band lost once NME started shafting the Arctic Monkeys.

Whipping Boy.

 

I Am Kloot are probably one of the greatest North West bands ever, can't believe stuff like Elbow gets more fans.

Twisted wheel

The House of Love - most overlooked band ever

 

Bogshed

 

Buffalo Tom

Loads of these bands at some point have been overrated, NME covers, Radio 1 airplay etc. I'll chuck in The Thermals, still playing shitholes like the Roadhouse.

If band has even the tiniest talent someone somewhere will overhype them so that's maybe a little unfair, whilst probably true

 

I wasn't saying they're not recognised at all. Moreover IMO they're better than they appear to be rated by most folk these days.....there's alot more shitty bands that get regular airplay on xfm etc :-)
