Some of the scootering scene down here getting fairly excited about this Bolton lot. May seem a daft question but are they from Tonge Fold?

 

Someone may have raised this before on WWays but I couldn't be arsed checking. Mod never dies. It just constantly reinvents itself.

Westhoughton IIRC.

They're from Howfen. Very good band, been around for a while. Bit surprised they've been adopted by your lot, all good though.

Did a gig for me last year. If you need owt (tracks etc), give us a shout and i will get it sent over.

 

They played in the fanzone last year before one of the fa cup games

Playing at Blind Tiger in town on Saturday night I think

 

Often see Damien, the lead singer, at away games

 

Good band

Cheers gents. Alf - look at the symbol on the bass drum, the haircuts and the dress sense.

 

Why the surprise? Look like modern day Mods to me.

 

Gold Coast (Queensland) scooterists who alerted the rest of us.

Fook me,that particular song sounds more like death metal than mod - although I know some of their other stuff is mint.

Gary,the guitarist on the left is a mate of mine, he loves his Ocean colour scene,Northern soul - and all things mod.

Mate of mine knows them well

I don't though

The type of music that's all, all good though like i said.

Playing Blind Tiger next Saturday. Top band.

It's the younger end mate. Like the lads who just organised the National Rally in Sydney (Ardly Normal Scooter Crew). Leader an ex-RAF bloke from the Home Counties in his early to mid 30's..

 

Look at the 'Attention Boby, Hillofdaub, Ratwhite' thread. Soundtrack to the first video released of the rally. They're a lot more avant garde than we soulful skatalites
