Wives ?
I remember the name
but not anything they did. What about The Crescent? They were from Liverpool and were supposed to be huge in the wake of, erm, Coral-mania, except they weren't.
Little Man Tate
were going to be huge according to teletext. Seems like no one really cared.
One True Voice
How amazing were they?
Also The Upper Room, Cord, Fields & Morning Runner.
Little Man Tate
Are brilliant live but it doesn't translate to studio and recorded material.
Larrikin Love not heard of them for a while.Have they gone yet ?
yup
gone.

The Others. I watched the episode of Nevermind The Buzzcocks with the singer on it the other day. The whole hype about their band revolved around him smoking crack and texting fans and nothing to do with their extremely basic and terrible music.
The Rain Band never had a big hype
and their album was OK...
On the same short-lived label, Medium21 and Agent Blue had the same kind of short life...
agent blue were truely awful
from what i remember
awful makes them sound better than they were...
..and they were a bunch of 'kevin & perry' style sulking twats, the drummer was a nice bloke though.
VHS or Beta
I still have loads of giant posters of theirs from Traffic.
i heard a new release
of vhs or beta no less than 3 hours ago on triple J
saw them...shite!
they supported the coopers. also saw medium 21 a couple of times, supporting jimmy eat world even. was hoping that would mean that they wouldn't be around for very long, but alais they took over world like lots of other shite bands.
grrr!
In
I N F A D E L S
I am now worried that I must have shit taste in music
because I loved The Rain Band, I still wear my t-shirt with pride and only yesterday I was listening to a classy Medium 21 b-side entitled 'Honeymoon herse' - its ace!
Plus I own an Agent Blue single and really liked Morning Runner too at the time. Also VHS or Beta in Liverpool was one of the best gigs ever! (although really that was because of forward russia and we are scientists being on the same bill).
The Crescent once described The Coral as a 'Joke band' - how ironic.
Dear me, ill have to take up a new hobby...
