Klink   10 #133 Posted July 15, 2010 Paul Klein, ex of Sheffield duo The Toy Shop here (1st winners of Battle of the Bands back in '82). Saw our name in here a couple of times and thought I'd say 'hello' and let everyone know I'm still rocking! Had an album out under the band name 'Psykik Volts' a couple of years on UK label Damaged Goods (see myspace.com/psykikvolts for details) even though I've lived in Australia for the last 8 years with my wife Suzanne.  Great to catch up on the past but they say nostalgia's not what it used to be:rolleyes:!

Klink   10 #139 Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Hi Dingo, I'm good thanks (for my age anyway:hihi:) - how are you?  I caught up with Phil for my wedding in '92 but unfortunately lost contact with him again after then. I'm kind of on Facebook but haven't really got into it so my page is really, really basic. Who else is on there?  Do you know I always found it strange that the only person that ever got anywhere (as far as I'm aware anyway) from that early 80's Sheffield scene was the 'weed in tweed' (as Vic Reeves named him) Jarvis Cocker. I could never see what all the fuss was about personally though with Pulp and thought that many of us were more talented. Ah well, such is life eh?  How's Sheffield nowadays? We moved south in '87 then out to Australia (first Perth now Melbourne) in 2002 so not seen Sheffield for a long time now.

Rob (DINGO) Â Â 10 #140 Posted July 19, 2010 Hi Paul , Good to hear from you after so many years, Spot on about the Weed In Tweed .. We were Contenders. Why Toy Shop never made it Big time I'll never know ! Sheffield's the same old same old. I moved away a couple of times but always end up back here, It's a pity you've lost contact with Phill he was one of my Favourite Sheffield Muso's along with your good self . Take Care Dingo xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
