Really really obscure Sheffield bands

[wardlow1889 10]

I used to play in a band called PALIS (points and lines in space). I didn't think up the name.

 

Anyone ever see us? We had synths and used to play snippets of Thunderbirds programmes. Appeared at the Top Rank in a battle of the bands and came last.

I played and sang (badly!) in a band in the mid seventies with the atrocious name of 'Ichthus' !!!! The Old Harrow, Broadfield, Staniforth arms, Monsal head hotel etc etc. Had a really cracking guitarist called Nick Fletcher who I believe teaches guitar these days. Sure a lot of places did'nt want to know because of the s**t name!.

I doubt any of you can remember the Raiders but some may have seen the Mindreaders around 1964.

I knew Stan (aka Panny). He was mates with Treebound Story and some guys I played with in Some Party.

 

Don't live in Sheff any more and haven't seen him for years but imagine he still hangs around the Washington of a weekend.

There's so many obscure bands, anybody see the one gig at The Limit that The Tarantula Sister did. It managed to get a review in the Star.

 

How about:-

Artistic World

Life House

Don't think anyone mentioned Mcloskys Apocalypse ( excuse spelling ) used to go to see them at the Broadfield tavern - and pay half fare on the bus to get there.

Didn't Simon Beckett the novelist used to be in PALIS? I've just been to Germany and in the airport booksellers in Koln he had 3 books in their top 20 list!

Bitter sweet, anyone remember them?

 

Used to play at the dial house quite regularly.

It was always a good night always played to a full house,they did Jimmy hendrix ,eagles ,wishbone ash,deep purple,led zeppelin etc .

If i,m correct I think they recorded an album but it didnt do good .

He used to play in Some Party and then with Treebound Story.
