Slopdosh Bobbar & Ivan Crump

Recommended Posts

I never really met Mixmif. When I was with the Skurvey line-up Dave left for a while and the band seemed to fall apart. Justin joined for a while on guitar and didn't really fill Daves shoes although we had a few laughs. We tried to write but were very inexperienced. Justin went on to from "Bendy Future" and was the frontman/vocalist. I got back together with Tommy about 1997 with Chris Holland on lead guitar and we did some recording. Tommy left as did Chris and Chris formed "Sikorski" and later "Camper Dog" who did the pub rock circuit for a bit. I eventually joined "The Rubber Band" as lead guitar and vocals and we did The Deepend and the pub rock cover band circuit which included The Riverside and Trippets. I'm still on the lookout for another band although I don't get much time in between my Cert Ed and teaching guitar for the WEA. I get to the jam sessions at the Malin and the Springvale now and again though which can be a laugh. I have played there with Ian "Dog" Staves who was in a band called "Ready Rolled".

Nice to see folks talking about Slopdosh! I was the drummer (Mick) for a while back in around 1988-1991ish I think,

The front man then didn't really exist it was more of a collective of like minded crazies who just liked to get together and jam a tune out. we all tried our best to model ourselves on characters from mad max two. I was "The toe cutter" and bleached half my hair blond on one side. As a biker I made quite a wierd sight to behold I spose.

Mixmif - the man is a legend. Nice guy. He used to live just down the road from me when I was up at Gleadless. I have a photo somewhere of him - he would have been seventeen or eighteen at the time. He used to drop in to my flat from time to time.

Phil Murray of 'rainy night in rotherham' fame? That takes me back. Think i had that on the same mix tape as 'I like making noisy noises' by Slopdosh.

The person claimin to know my dad so well; why are you even commenting personal information as to where he lives etc. Whether he lives where you say or doesnt.. if you are such good friends you know he would not post such personal information online!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair enough, Im only going on stories told to me by Mick. I do know the bloke, I havent seen him in a while. Used to use the same tattoo/piercing studio as him (Designer Skin, West Bar, now closed down)..Can even give you an address if you want to get in touch with him...he lives in Greenhill.

 

You are such a good friend to my dad!!! Why the hell post such personal information, whether he lives here or you got it wrong id beyond the point you will know if your so "close" when it comes to his personal life only people he can trust knows this information and obviously your not one of them!!!!
