I started a thread on the old boards circa 2009, think it was called ‘tell me about your band’. Some really good stuff came up and I’m pretty sure at least a couple (The Leisure Society?) went on to have success at least at the ‘got reviewed by DiS’ level. Hopefully this thread will find some good stuff also!
Can’t find the video (if it still exists!) but I once got to play with my band on daytime tv. Just before we started they surprised me with a message from my dad, who told me to rock it, man, even though he knew I would, then he said ‘do do do do yeah’ and did a sort of chef’s kiss.
An old band of mine appeared on a kids TV program filmed high up Canary Wharf. We hadn’t bothered to bring a full drum kit because miming, also Jeff forgot his drum sticks, so used wooden spoons.
Can’t remember why on earth this occurred. Folly of youth.
