Jogging.

Brighton Institute of Music

worked with Donny Tourette, I believe at Sky.

Jamie from Reuben is a cartoonist for The Guardian

I've been at the Barclays HQ for a few years and have never bumped into anyone from Part Chimp (sob...) but swear someone from Vincent Vincent and the Villains used to spend his lunchbreak under the building in the library...!

He's quite recognisable, he's the more 'rotund' guitarist.

When he got and turned round to put his suit jacket on I noticed he had a Metallica t-shirt on under his shirt. METAL!

John Garcia of Kyuss, Slo Burn, Hermano and whoever else became a vet at some point. I think I heard Scott Reeder did as well but I can't find any info on that so I probably made it up

used to man the door at the Academy/SU in Manchester ... someone better than me can probably tell you which ones.

Doesn't Martin Grech work in a pub in Aylesbury?

did the Garfield movie poster.

but Dave Rowntree is a lawyer

In so far as Rowntree no doubt made enough money to buy a house and all that, and could probably live quite comfortably off the royalties without needing to work.

This thread is more for those bands that had a decent level of exposure/following, but not enough to sustain them financially beyond the lifespan of the band.

work in an office with the drummer from black (from the 70s/80s) who had the one hit wonder 'wonderful life' i think tis called that anyway, most people know the song and he drummed on the song and album but gets balls all from it. his friend the actual singer/songwriter though makes a small fortune apparently

upgrading their phone system and Mark Morris the singer from the bluetones was on reception. he sat there in awe whilst waiting for the person he was meeting with to come down and collect him.

when they (temporarily) split after A Northern Soul. Pretty sure I heard this on the Mark Radcliffe show back in the day. For some reason it stuck.

Alex James bought a house in Covent Garden that was next to Dave Stewart's

but Colin Doran from Hundred Reasons worked as a postman inbetween the band leaving Sony and signing with V2.

the main reason blur reunionised was because Dave was in a shit ton of debt 'cos a company he invested heavily in went tits up

they are not mutually exclusive

are Hollywood music moguls managing all your favourite indie/dance acts

Worked in a shoe shop

black swans, market forces etc

the post probably should have gone after CGs rather than guntrip's

just some idle trivia s'all

makes more sense coming after CG's

One of the members of Damage used to be a chef at the Lord Stanley pub in Camden. Dunno if he still is.

is in California real estate.

http://www.anthonykoutsos.com/

Guitarist turned postman.

Their former drummer, Mourad, now works in his families property business. A sad loss to drumming, that guy was incredible.

just to see what he's got in San Geronimo.

Yes.

Mark Ibold has apparently become a Haute Cuisine chef in the time after their split (so that's why he went on tour with sonic youth!), Bob Nastovich had a stable of racing horses in Kentucky, though he was quite honest about having gambling debts around the time of the reunion.

Yes.

Even though I have nothing to add. THUMPS UP.

Newport Floor Centre

I would hope Jamie from Reuben was doing. Well, either that or making more Reuben albums.

Louise Wener (vocals) became a writer after the band split up, publishing 4 novels. To supplement her income, she teaches novel writing and how to play poker.

Jon Stewart (guitar) is now a Senior Academic Lecturer at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, and occasional columnist for the Guardian.

Diid Osman (bass) works in artist management and used to look after My Vitriol and Hell Is For Heroes.

Andy Maclure (drums) started a Punk Rock Karaoke night with Steve Lamacq, in which fans sing with a live band. His dayjob is Head of Artist Development and Drum Tutor at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music.

http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2007/07/pavement_and_sonic_youth_bassi.html

is that if you want your old copies of Vox magazine signed head to the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, where every 90s indie band ends up (that should be on prospectus).

you mention works for Islington Borough Council doing their bigtime IT stuff. Lovely man. They all had day jobs as far as I'm aware, just took time off work to tour. Decent way to do it.

worked in a cobblers. Not sure if this counts.

served me a fry up in Kensington's in Brighton. He had lots of pretty cool tattoos.

I always wondered if this was him... http://www.surrey.ac.uk/english/people/gavin_goodwin/index.htm

Though I'm not sure how Koz actually makes any money, let alone Koutsos/Carney et al...

http://www.davidyow.net/davidyow.net/Garfield.html

And the bassist from My Bloody Valentine became a cabbie. Apologies if both are too big for this thread.

Erstwhile post-rock threesome? So one became Four Tet, another became Adem, currently half of Silver Columns.

But drummer, Sam, got a series of proper (well, proper-ish) jobs. He did some web design stuff, went to Harvard to get his clever on, and came back an uber digital strategy dude. He's now in charge of strategy at a campaigning agency. Worked with him a few years ago. I was the only one who recognised him :-)

i never knew this! i would have shit my pants if he turned up with my post

is now a caretaker at a primary school: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-14962358

motor racer

my old band used to practice at that school. Steve let us use it in the evenings, but I had no idea who he was until I mentioned we sounded a bit like Nick Cave - at which point he mentioned that he knew him. I thought he meant 'knew' as in 'was aware of' but then he went on to explain how he'd been in The Fall for twenty years and they'd hung out a bit.

works/ed in a library in brighton

You can collect it from the sorting office, or alternatively I'LL FIND YOU, FIND YOOOOUU

http://lexingtonjanovitz.com/about/

John Andrew was Technology Manager for Asia. Used to see him in the lifts at Bush House all the time. I'm not sure if he was aware that people still remembered him. I think he's gone on to do more consultancy work with broadcast and video content
delivery etc. Can't really see him jacking it in.

not true at all. According to wikipedia he's a student.

now lectures at UCL, apparently.

My mate stays down that neck of the woods and told me this.

Might be talking shite though.

Sharkey Major became an estate agent for a while after quitting music, DAN from Meridian Crew got a job as a Fireman and Tempah T used to be a postman before he got big.

was a bicycle mechanic in between that band and JEFF the brotherhood getting big, I think.

Tyler, the Creator working in Starbucks

a while back, think it may still be going...

http://billjanovitz.com/

but I saw Gay For Johnny Depp 4 or 5 times and each time the drummer couldn't get it off work from his office so they had to have a stand in

It does not mean what you think it means.

was driving vans for a home delivery company until recently.

once

but alexei from johnny foreigner sells merchandise for huge bands/disney stars at birmingham 02

runs a badge-making business from her living room called Wee Badgers

The singer from Ballroom (remember them?) is a promoter at Proud Galleries in Camden.

Singer from Silver Sun runs an online t-shirt company

http://www.mickeysfishing.com/

who was in Elastica for 5 minutes used to work in the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street. She now DJs in Berln.

now makes black holes, or something.

a bunch of bands like Breton and Is Tropical now apparently

There's no reason why mid-level indie singers working in ordinary (and probably slightly better paid) jobs should be a source of tragedy. They're probably perfectly happy with their lot but when you're a fan you kinda hope they would never have to.

http://www.creation-records.com/interviews/adorable/

Pete from Adorable discusses, and reflects, on his time in Adorable. It's beautifully written. You almost feel the nostalgia of a band you were never in.

Keep this thread going!

They all seem to be in education. One is a uni professor and the other a maths teacher. If you watch a few of their youtube videos, kids from the drummers (or bassits) class comment on it. I can imagine them sitting down, reflecting to a pool of kids, about their days in Adorable.

Lovely.

works/worked in the Duke of York's cinema in Brighton (I think).

• Gareth from Los Campesinos! also works at a church and cemetery as a gardener. He does this at the moment, and seems to enjoy it.

BLOC PARTY
• Kele from Bloc Party worked at a movie theatre in London. Babak from Wet Paint also worked with Kele at the same movie theatre.
• Gordon from Bloc was a graphic designer until mid-2005. He designed all of the old BP web pages.

There are tons I know about band members who used to work in certian players. Not awfully interesting, though.

Last seen working the bar at City Cafe in Edinburgh, not sure if he's still there.

Now he's a fulltime prick instead.

now also sells bikes through the same company.

Guitarist from 3 Colours Red does excellent stuff for Age Concern.

Arousing curiosity; holding or catching the attention

Synonyms:
sapid - amusing - entertaining

yeah yeah

And I should know, having worked as a receptionist. I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to Expecting to Fly in the same light again.

looks exactly the same as he did in '97.

and singing "where diiiiiiiiiiiiid you goooooooooo" and making me want to kill people.

NOW ANSWER THE PHONE YOU STONE ROSES WANNABE

Along kinda the same lines, you make find these interesting:

http://rockandrolltedium.tumblr.com/

I said thanks, I like your band, He was a bit shocked.

Hope they don't get confused one day

doing something involving tax. Dunno what. Lovely bloke though.

but this is amazing news! oh what a haircut that man used to have

...supporting Oddfellows Casino in Brighton. It was so boring I had to leave the venue and go for a walk. They went under the name Pete and Terry.

who is Sushil K Dade who used to be in Soup Dragons, BMX Bandits and Telstar Ponies and is also in the Burns Unit is a driving instructor in Bearsden near Glasgow

He seemed like an utter twat - clearly thought he was something special

and one of Prefab Sprout is a college music lecturer

Johnny Dean does NOT work in a mobile phone shop. I'm not exactly how he bides his time these days, but he seems to live comfortably with his girlfriend and their cats. My friend met up with them for a drink once. Nice couple!

was/is a primary school teacher

When the Boston Phoenix did its Britpop issues last summer, I wrote the "where are they now" article. Some of the highlights included:

-Former Menswear members managing bands like Phoenix (already mentioned above)
-Drummer from These Animal Men becoming a drum tech and stage manager for bands like the Dirty Pretty Things
-Donna Matthews from Elastica is now a born-again Christian working in music therapy

These ones didn't make it into my article, but:
-Toby Slater from Catch (£100 for diet Coke Catch) now runs a sex club in London. Considering the guy's teenage "hit" single was about losing his virginity, this never fails to make me laugh.
-Dominic Chad from Mansun is an ambulance driver in London.

now lives in San Rafael, California. She occasionally has gallery shows here in San Francisco. One of these days, I'll go to one and report back!

that plays for the Manics?

Bingo's not about losing virginity, it's about... going to a London sex club! One of those in Soho that was hot with the middle-market press for a while in the early 90s because they'd promise shows, not deliver and then not let patrons leave without paying huge amounts for one drink.

Well shit. I've been getting it wrong for all of these years. "I've got some fat to lose and something eeeelse, too." Oh Catch!

Wayne Murray now plays with the Manics. I like to refer to this as, "Everything Must Bingo."

I want to go on one of those. And I don't even like fishing.

bit of a Balearic classic was that, great record.

It's around the corner from this divey place I've stayed in four or five times
had no idea!

but in that interview with A Hawk and a Hacksaw on here last week, Jeremy Barnes said they make extra money playing Jewish weddings/events :D

works for a software company nr Reading i believe

The Bassist owns a fried chicken restaurant in NY. Apparently it's some of the best fried chicken of all time - seriously.

and Dexter Holland owns a hot sauce company.

I've booked him to play Bedford at the end of March! Buy tickets!!

If so, I hope he was the one in that ridiculous video KiK posted the other night

kids from someone in the band's class commenting, mostly positive. I thought that was quite sweet, because they had to at some point confess 'yes, I was in a top 40 band once' during a lesson.

is Justin Lee Collins' autobiography devotes three or four pages to how he went to interview them in America for MTV.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mHgZCEt4aE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGj5uHX0wlo

from Passion Pit works on bicycles somewhere in the southwest.

Jack teaches film stuff in a girls school.

but it's always slayed me that Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, former Steely Dan/Doobie Brothers guitarist, ended up as some sort of ultra-conservative missile defence consultant for the US government.

Stephen Pastel runs Monorail Music in Glasgow.

I remember interviewing A Sunny Day in Glasgow at Nice n Sleazy then taking one of the guys down there when he asked about local record shops.

He was over the moon and bought a Pastels record I'm sure...

lived in America now. He did grow up in Aylesbury though...

is now a professional insane person.

He has his own room in Studio B of Artspace Studio in Brixton (www.artspacestudio.co.uk). It's a versatile set up in which he can accomodate everything from simple writing sessions to full live recordings and mixing.

Recent projects include Scholars, JB Conspiracy, the Computers, Hill Valley High, Katie Sutherland, Rosie May, Sophie Madeleine, Iman Osman, Boris Titular, Dinosaur Pile-Up and Speaks.

Here's a link to hear a track by Scholars called 'Bad for Business'

Fisher has a new band http://soundcloud.com/redkite_band

Didz now works for Suede's management and will be returning to fray as a DiS contributor http://drownedinsound.com/users/didz/articles

Jon Harper (nicest man in indie) drummed from CSS for a year or two and now teaches at http://www.bimm.co.uk/bristol - in a department run by members of Pitchshifter and Gay Dad.

Now teaches Music Business http://www.bimm.co.uk/bristol/tutors/cliff-jones

is now a "visitor services" manager at the Southbank Centre. Couple of friends used to work there: he's a decent bloke, apparently.

is also the warehouse manager for Subpop records

Manda from Bis makes badges. This does not surprise me in the slightest.

Is an English teacher.

worked with my dad in the Inland Revenue offices in Liverpool.

is now a school teacher (evidenced by his pupils commenting on the video to Soundtrack of the Summer on YouTube).

Really good food. I quite liked Damage tbh - I didn't realise they were a boy band at first. I didn't realise Wonderful Tonight was a cover either. Ah, youth.

I want a Lord Stanley cheese board now.

now works in publishing as a sub-editor.

He's a music librarian at Sky. Just goes by Patrick these days. Seems like much, much less of a bellend than his unfortunate TV appearances made him appear. That was actually a bit of a letdown. Still not averse to wearing leather jackets to work, though.

a great bunch of lads.

don't walk no more

and, though I was never a Bluetones fan, he was a very nice chap and played some excellent songs...

He told an amusing story about them turning down a huge amount of money for one of their tracks to be used on a car advert and how he wishes now he said yes...

that's why his band is called The Secondary Modern. I think he also used to work for Battersea Dogs Home or something.

Now a fishing show presenter on Scottish TV:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbXR1fUvOpQ

Remember reading years ago that his main income came from making fly fishing rods...

that Kelly JoFo works in finance or something...

I understand from a friend who's played against him a few times that he's actually pretty good. Don't think he gets paid for it though.

http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/londoncornishrfc/s/players-coaches-27535.html?player_id=234429

I do wonder what bands like The Twilight Sad do as, as good as they are, I'm sure they can't be earning a living soley from the band, or am I wrong?

What are My Vitriol up to?

and it turns out they recorded a bond theme for The World is Not Enough but (obv) was rejected.

It's actually pretty good:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOmmZ1krMwg&feature=related

worked in a phoneshop in Enfield a few years ago after an extended period of signing on.

but god knows what he's doing.

did a gig in an Aylesbury pub recently apparently...

I know a couple of Oceansize did a lot of stuff for the Academy, door, flying, lights, security even a little I think?

It was in Enfield. I know this because I know the person who got him the job to get him off the dole.

or studying law. And threatening to release another album...

though (at least in this country) the twilight sad and frightened rabbit are at roughly the same level, the latter have had songs used loads for adverts and on tv

Sadly. Love the idea he's doing something law related though.

also play huge shows in the US off the back of all the Grey's Anatomy coverage, Pitchfork love, Death Cab tours and stuff.

but Little Hell's Steve Ludwin runs snake parties for kids in London now. http://www.stevesreptileparties.com/index.html

according to comments his pupils make on engerica videos on youtube.

said they'd worked in some office with another member of AC Acoustics. At least Paul's not pretending to make a living off poetry anymore.

Bloody love this band, well overdue a regroup/new music.

She was their bass specialist

While checking that I hadn't made this up, I found this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/sep/23/pop-stars-musicians-jobs-careers

is now in artist management and does stuff with the Hot Chip lot.

Fin from Hell Is For Heroes roadies/techs for bands.

Michael Gerald from Killdozer was a commercial lawyer during early Killdozer...an EVIL BUSINESS LAWYER.. while he was in the only openly communist (as in paid up members of ACP) band in America. He is still a very succesful commercial lawyer.

Santiago Durango is a celebrity laywer.

erm apart from that, David WM Sims is an accountant.

Bassist ffrom Fudge Tunnel is an accountant too when he appeared on that lineup on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

FDK Kitchens in Prestwich is amost entirely operated by former members of the Fall.

Al who used to be in Tindersticks worked for AV services where I work and a former member of the Byrds works in my dept sometimes.

That tall one from Electralene was a summer vacation worker here couple years back too.

I briefly worked with a guy who went by 'Toni Tambourine', who claimed to be the percussionist in D-Ream. I met him at Bestival and he later gave me work at Defected Records, where he was (and probably still is) Head of Press & PR. Nice chap

And check out Engerica videos on Youtube after what seems like ages.
I'm glad I did.
Thanks!

Ross was working in computers and running a music blog the last time I bumped into him (my inner 15yr old was weirdly starstruck)

Adam Perry from 'A' runs a company that builds smartphone apps for bands, and drums in the Bloodhound Gang http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2012/02/adam-perry-bandapp-ceo-and-the-bloodhound-gang-drummer-on-why-bands-need-apps.html

Bunch of members of Symposium and 'A' always seem to pop up at festivals working for radio stations and things.

is a ukulele instructor.

as she's been on Radio 4 discussing it. There's still a little frisson when her name turns up in news pieces regarding her job: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-16367169

I've lost the list now, but all of Heavenly had high flying jobs. One of them helped compile the OED, and of course the keyboard player presented Scrapheap Challenge and ran the production company that made it.

is head PR person for the northern wing of the Arts Council (and is in the Cornshed Sisters).

I think Pin maybe, is a call centre manager

apparently worked for Portland ad agency Wieden+Kennedy for a while after the band split.

But now she's doing Portlandia and even more famous than she was.

Sounds like they'll jump at the chance (if they're still together)

Is now a real estate agent

http://activerain.com/rerockstar

Such a great band.

I HAVE THE BEST ONE

For a while Bob Mould had a job as a scriptwriter for WCW, in the liner notes for Modulate he thanks Kevin Nash

and some more

Satan who drummed for Cradle of Filth now works at Beggars group.
Mike who drummed for Women ran a business painting houses in Calgary before joining porcelain raft.
Mookie from Gengis Tron now manages bands such as Lower Dens, Pictureplane and Deradorian.
Tim from help she can't swim puts on shows in London under the name Bird on the Wire.
Issac Brock of Modest Mouse did A&R for subpop for a while, and was responsible for signing wolf parade.

Still can't believe such a good band like them are dead in the water.

They played some wild live shows.

Write and produce pop songs, for mcfly and others.

i smell research project...

I remember finding him on the BBC address book around the time his last album came out.

even though Blur getting back together had been on the cards since 2004??

can earn someone a living...

But judging by the title, this may be Justin from Hell is for Heroes MSc dissertation: http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?hl=en&tab=ww#q=justin+schlosberg&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvnso&ei=_xdQT4u1Ncam0QXyo8nZCw&sqi=2&start=20&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=3b6b42e17dd83c7b&biw=1600&bih=715 (second one down).

The other links suggest he now works in some form of media research.

Either that or there is another Justin Schlosberg and I've just made a mega tit out of myself.

I broke the internet.

Pretty sure it's the same guy.

Mono and bought their collab with Tenniscoats because I liked the cover. A Google search later revealed that the guy who sold me the album was Stephen Pastel. Seems like a nice guy.

... and NOT know that there was a member of Kingmaker in the building?! There must have been some crossover, I'd guess... I was there 1998 - 2007. Oh well!

(Now, the girl who played Mary the punk in Eastenders in the 80s and then worked in BBC Online... that one, I knew about!)

This is about 20 minutes drive from where I live, might go say hi some time.

in this stoner rock documentary, at around the 1 hour 5 minute mark. Includes dog walking, cooking, house painting...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-njKCr6ieKE

I'm pretty sure they don't have dayjobs, but could be mistaken.

not heard owt, but very much enjoyed his last offering.

And he guests on our album which also made my inner 15yr old very happy :)

Great documentary. Well worth an hour or so of your time.

"OFT chief economist Amelia Fletcher said: "This merger would have led to a near-monopoly in the provision of canned pies in the UK.""

Everybody out.

working in the polar bear in Farringdon. He was really nice about me mentioning it. UNLIKE the tosser who works in the practise studios behind Denmark place. He was in Byker grove and *does not* want to talk about it.

they were quite good.
i have no recollection of what their music sounded like tho.

They ask each member what they're most proud of since they left the Pixies-

Black Francis - "My solo stuff"
Kim Deal - "The Breeders albums"
Joe (guitarist) - "My wonderful family"
Drummer - "Hmmm...I'd probably say my magic...yeah...my magic"

It was pretty sad really.

Cathy is back doing tv stuff but was an olive farmer in Italy for a while and wrote a book about it called The Dolce Vita Diaries

(real name Scott Marshall) has directed some really awful looking romantic comedies. He also directed a number of Sabrina the Teenage Witch episodes. He's Gary (Pretty Woman) Marshall's kid.

the lead singer from foregone conclusion ended up managing a medium-sized paper merchants in slough

who has been working at Brighton Institute of Modern Music which is responsible for loads of people walking about Brighton and Hove with guitars strapped to their backs hoping to be the next big thing. They are also very responsible for The Kooks.

is (was?) an engineer for NASA. It's his work schedule that most of the reunion has been structured around.

Travis Morrison works for The Huffington Post as a web developer I think and Jason Caddell ran (runs?) his own studio.

For a short while Eric Axelson was in the band Maritime with Dan Didier of The Promise Ring before joining Statehood with Joe Easley until their singer (and songwriter) Clark Sabine died.

Cliff Jones from Gay Dad used to write for The Face when I did work experience there. That's basically how they got on the cover.

Iain Hinchliffe from Part Chimp works for LBi - a big web/digital design firm in east London.

Remember the rumour about Cappadonna from the Wu Tang Clan becoming a cab driver?

They mentioned how hard it was to make a living from the genre and it wasn't exactly rolling in royalties. It seems most of the musicians interviewed in that painted houses.

was a good mate of mine at school in Cov. Last saw him at the Cure's Finsbury Park gig in 2002 and he is indeed working as a teacher in Edinburgh and snowboarding in his spare time. Last time I saw him before that was at a wedding in 1998, we got totally leathered & he got rather irate at Creation forgetting about Adorable (and the Boo Radleys) & spunking all their cash on Oasis.

Top bloke. Not sure what he's up to now though, didn't really ask, sorry.

now runs a lovely little cafe in Reading.

and listening to Danny from Embrace talk about working on a building site after being dropped by EMI, then releasing a new album, getting up in the morning, hearing on the radio that the album had got to number one, and still going to work.

Following the split, three of the members returned to education. Marshall studied International Relations at the University of Toronto. He now lives in Guadalajara, Mexico and writes for the newspaper, Guadalajara Reporter. Chow studied Graphic Design at the University of Plymouth. McGloin began a degree in PPE at Oxford University in 2006, whilst Bromley worked as a website designer and is a member of the Church of Scientology.

rather than works because the sanctuary cafe closed about two years ago.

in his new band which is him and Terry Bickers, who's also just re-joined House of Love

but Davy Cicero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mBS-9KP7_A got ripped off by the Pet Shop Boys and now works for Sky TV in their call centre. A couple of years ago there a remix of that track was was big new in the Italian clubs so he got a few decent weekends away out of it.
