Guy87 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I knew Nightrun, the lead singer was a mate of mine and lives around the corner from me, he did sing with Pete Willis. What was his name? I'm trying to track down any information I can find on Nightrun, band members (I only know of Pete Willis, Richard Day and Pete Halliday; don't know who the bass player was), did the single come with a sleeve, etc. It's impossible to find much of anything about them online.

Guest makapaka Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Does anyone remember a band called chemical child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerSheff Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Does anyone remember a Sheffield three-piece band called 'Crow'? They used to practice at what was the Darnall Music Factory (don't know if that's still going) they played Gigs at the Hallamshire pub, they played there with Lilac Confusion and Plague Dogs I seem to remember. They also played with a band called 'Oranges for Angels'. I think that gig was at The Limit, and they played quite a few times with Cosa Nostra at 'Take Two' in Darnall. Would be good to see some old photos of that band if there are any, or hear some audio of them, if there's any out there.

Knew all those bands, aswell as Plague dogs, saw them loads OK, after making that post, I went back through the thread and saw a photo of the singer/guitarist of Crow was posted, and also that a member of Crow was speaking about sending some tapes he had to be converted to digital for a site, but I guess nothing came of it. But thanks for responding 👍 3 hours ago, macmellus said: Yep. No photos or audio though. Only memories of there angular, discordant alt-pop. Angular, discordant alt-pop. . . that's a good description! 'MegsBigBear' asked about them on page 57, way back in 2008, and there was a brief discussion about them that started from his post.

Other bands that played that evening were Acid reign, Re-animator, Toranaga and Lawnmower deth. Used to know singer Andy Longley (who was sadly replaced before they signed and brought out their album) and if i remember right the guitarist on the left was Mac?
