Anyone remember Modern Uses for Velcro, featuring Jo McCafferty?

The were in the P&J once because the Velcro company issued a cease and disist order on them.

Or how about Love's Erector Set which morphed into The Bloody Marys?

pelt played with them in Cellar 55...

I remember that night, because it was the first time we'd played "Diesel" in public, and I completely fucked up the start...3 times...

they were too "quirky" for my liking, I am glad Jo went on to better things.

Bands I remember from before I left the deen in 98:

Needles (thankfully still thriving)

Men Lie (later J60?!? I think)

Clocker

Maple

Atom Flask

Also big up to my mates' bands Ikhan and 45rpm, also to My Everyday, which contained members of Captain Face.

Apparently 45rpm may be making a comeback too. They played with Jo McCafferty under the name "Euphoria" at the old Drakes...

Not that anyone cares...

I have the album. It's a corker.

I'd expect nothing less.

Can't wait.

If the music industry had actually got up off its knees infront of mediocre dross like the Kaiser Chiefs et al The Needles would have eaten the world by now.

Anyone else think that Razorlight are just a poor Needles rip-off? My brother swears by this theory...

love from christy

There has been, roughly, a dozen Needles rip offs since they started along the road of being continually pipped at the post... Dagnabit! I wan't to see Dave on the big stage with gangly Paul falling over things on live telly...

Were they kinda Chili Peppers-ish? Fast slap bass and great drums?

they're the very chaps - i remember (vaguely) playing with them on the bill at a McEwans Lager sponsored "B.O.T.B" comp at "Bedlam" in the old A.U Union in 1993. I still have our set on video.

It was hoop.

A ill advised "metal" version of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, was the "highlight".

Cringe.o_O

I knew the drummer' date=' then he left to go to Drumtech. Years later I met him again, he was touring with a band called [u']209

supporting Breed 77. FROSTYFACT.
