MickN Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I've had a great time reading and looking at some of the pics. I was a good friend of Mick the drummer from Slopdosh. I remember seeing them in Nottingham i think supporting the Macc lads. I bought 2 souvenirs that day, No sheep til buxton on 12" and an ice-cream cone of **** pin badge. Ernest Jennings come and get your keys cut....... if anyone knows Mick say Hi for me i haven't seen him since early 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_fcs Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 That would be when we started with a rip roaring Scapegoat ("Are you scapegoater or scapegoatee?") which I could never quite get my fingers around...... T that was another classic, also on that cherished demo of mine! did you ever do friendship preferred, or was that a tim and paul solo project?

pete_fcs Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 we've mentioned the legendary bbc radio sheffield local music presenter nick reynolds a few times here. nick was also responsible for running dolebusters, with me and lou gob****e acting as two of his sidekicks. in fact the whole music scene fell apart in 1989 when he left sheffield! but before going, i wrote a load of comedy hip-hop tracks with him, and we recorded tham at red tape. we even got offered a distribution deal! you can hear one of the tracks here....scroll down till you get to the paragraph which says "NOT the fcs": http://www.freewebs.com/story_of_the_fcs/music.htm music copyright street beat pete (tha's me) 1988 lyrics copyright nick reynolds 1988 (that's nick) produced by pete **** (that's also me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Latic Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 that was another classic, also on that cherished demo of mine! did you ever do friendship preferred, or was that a tim and paul solo project? I think so. One of my favourite performances was when Paul did a series of duets with different people upstairs at the Hallamshire - I played guitar sat on the stage while he sang the End of Coronation Street. One of the reviews said "Coronation Street will last a lot longer than you" - or words to that effect. He did a good job of cutting up a Billy Graham speech for Church of Pain.

mickc Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Pete, How do you do the quote thing so it appears in a blue box. I'm very stupid and can't seem to work it out. I also liked the Masons. They had a song called Bitter and twisted, very witty and slightly sick lyric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_fcs Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Pete, How do you do the quote thing so it appears in a blue box. I'm very stupid and can't seem to work it out. ..... just make sure it also says "bracket-forward slash-QUOTE-bracket" at the end of the quote! pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_fcs Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 .... I also liked the Masons. They had a song called Bitter and twisted, very witty and slightly sick lyric. i was at a yugoslavian disco they played all the same records that's when i got sick 'n' tired that's when i became bitter 'n' twisted i've got...a chip on my shoulder so big it's almost....a boulder i LOVED that mason texanline demo tape. i used to play it to death, rewinding it over and over 'cos the wealthy texans were on the other side! loved the texans too ("living in a box in gleadless" probably spawned the band of the similar name) but preferred the masons!

pete_fcs Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 ..... He did a good job of cutting up a Billy Graham speech for Church of Pain. "......souls that need to be....souls that need to be...souls that need to be...souls that need to be...half drunk most of the time" achieved with a cue-and-review button on a tape recorder. no (affordable) samplers in those days!

Ernest Jennings come and get your keys cut....... if anyone knows Mick say Hi for me i haven't seen him since early 90's. We supported the MACC LADS at the Retford Porterhouse. We did play Nottingham but can't remember where it was? I know Iggy Pop was playing at Rock City the same night and I wanted to go there instead Dunno if I said this before but my favourite gig was the one at the Hallamshire Hotel....I think we had about 24 hours notice and it was packed to the rafters. That was probably the best gig we ever played cos we was on top form, the crowd was on top form and it came together just right. Unfortunately I think it was the only gig that wasn't photographed or recorded which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
