Project S.A.M. Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 and the Thanes' date=' I think.[/quote']...and about a million other bands, too.

chilli Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 & you all forgot about the very wonderful APB, who I think played three Peel sessions & were a Peel favourite for two or three years.What happened to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Dave didn't forget about them....he mentions them in the first post!Ian Slater was doing the sound in Drummonds a good few years ago, and the drummer, whose name I forget (but who is an excellent artist!) was doing recordings with the sax player, Dave Lindsay.

Alan you are the font of all knowledge...DaveYes, APB became the Loveless, and they were incredible. Blew away everyone else with consummate ease, so powerful. The drummer totally floored me (not literally). I'm sure I saw Ian Slater in Aberdeen just recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that makes something like 9 Aberdeen area bands who have done a Peel Session - more than I thought.BTW Alan are you trying to tell us you used to listen to Kid Jensen...Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were embarrassed, but not much, as we were both pretty pished.Dave........I cheated, really, and checked out some of the better Aberdeen bands in Ken Garner's "In Session Tonight" book. Mind you I seem to recall listening to an excellent Julian Cope session on Kid Jensen once._______________________________________________________________________Kitchen Cynics................................aiming for a Me FM session.........................____________________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Ah yes...Coast, those loveable rogues. The Coast/18 Wheeler piss-ups were potentially dangerous! I once played bass (hiding behind the speaker) in a band who were on the bottom of a Coast and 18 Wheeler bill (we were chums of Alan Hake - ex-Wheeler and discoverer of the Darkness). So is Ian Slater still singing/bassing at the same time, Biz? I recall being very impressed the first time I saw them at the Copper Beech in the late 70s/early 80s._________________________________________________________________________Kitchen Cynics...........................................is it Alone again or tonight, or the Steppes?..

I'd love to see Glen playing drums again. Any idea when they're playing next? Funnily enough I thought I saw Paul in Aberdeen recently too, are they all based back here now?
