Ned's emerge from Hibernation
- Artists:
- Ned's Atomic Dustbin »
Early 90s indie stalwarts Ned’s Atomic Dustbin return on June 5th, with their first single in ten years, 'Hibernation' (geddit?).
Ned’s were huge around the time of Bermuda Shorts and Graham Taylor - along with fellow scenesters Pop will eat itself, and The Wonderstuff - and were responsible for the non-infamous chant "Nicky Campbell is a wanker". They also ensured that people like me had no sex life by designing stupidly sized shorts with lots of daft pictures on them, guaranteeing sneers in the high street from the opposite sex. That was my excuse, anyhow.
But, to the present: pop to the band's MySpace page to sample the new stuff, and then to www.nedsatomicdustbin.com, 7digital.com, and backstreetmerch.com to pre-order the download single. Old-timers like me will have to drive to a faceless warehouse music megastore on June 5th, when the ‘conventional’ proper CD single of 'Hibernation' is released.
The band will be playing Birmingham Barfly on May 26 and 27th, and the London Forum on June 7th, to support the single.

First band I ever did see as well
The Bridge
Stourbridge all the way baby!
this is a needless 'happening'
really - god they were awful.
Get thee away
from here Cloth Ears
I actually agree with Prole
on this one. Seriously...this is the most pointless reformation ever, surely?!
I apologise in advance for what is about to follow
but OMG you name is Christopher Lloyd! that is the most amazing thing I've seen since yesterday evening when I watched Back to the Future III and Mad Dog Tannen fell in the cart full of manure, and also there was the bit where the Doc (the fantastic Christopher Lloyd) drank his shot of whiskey and then fell on the table (Oh how we laughed). I wouldn't normally post such inane nonsense but your name is Christopher Lloyd and I thought that I should point it out to you, because Back to the Future is so good and there's this bit where the Doc drinks some whiskey...
isn't this where
gbreed is supposed to come in and tell us all how he know all this 8 years ago cos he's like best mates with their webmaster's brother's hairdresser or something?
i remember ned's...
...being chased across a field at Glastonbury '92 by some bloke on stilts dressed as a robot. no i wasn't on drugs at the time. this actually happened.
i think ned's are a bit shit tho'.
Dull fact
the man who signed the 'chiefs' is a MASSIVE fan of Ned's - what does this dsay about the current 'crop' of bands?
leave it
dig out those german army shirts and hockey socks. we're going indie moshing
In my humble
Neds > Wonder Stuff but < PWEI
I challenge you to go listen to Happy and tell me Neds are a bit rubbish.
you better apologise
You should damn right apologise. For implying I'm the christopher lloyd from the back to the future trilogy, when in actually, i'm the recently deceased 'Christopher lloyd: Expert Gardner' from the Guardian.
If I catch anyone else mixing me up, I'll be round with my ho's to mess up your flowerbed.

As are
the Hundred Reasons drummer and Blink 182. So there.
...or the whole of
'God Fodder'.
Just bought that book by Martin Roach at the weekend - The Eight Legged Atomic Dustbin Will Eat Itself. Awesome read it is too.
i am amazed
they are still alive , they must be ancient by now,
Year of the Ned!
Let's just face it..Ned's Atomic Dustbin were probably one of the most influential bands of the late 80's / early 90's. If you've listened to the songs and not been to see them live, 'then you f%@ked up' as they say.
This isn't a reforming band by the way, they've been playing gigs since 2000 after a six year break, but haven't commited to releasing new material until now.
The new version of KYTV rocks, and worth buying the CD for. Hibernation and Ambush are two great songs too.
Give the guys a chance to play their stuff, check out the samples on www.nedsatomicdustbin.co.uk and help get Ned's back in the charts.
gbreed
doesn't care. Certainly not for your gossip; and was surprised to see you just can't stop taking the piss.hoped you'd grown out of it by now, so go write something about some band no fuckers ever heard of and no one cares about.
And leave me the fuck alone.
