I just heard from C, that Benny (the old bassplayer from Dundee band "Broccoli") is dead.anyone know any more ?I know he left Broccoli before they split, and started out as a stand up comedian...but fit the fuck ?....peepPS< for the twats that haven't heard of broccoli, think "fucking ace music, a head of its time" (Franky Stubbs from Leatherface recorded them, along with Dungdee's songsters "appleorchard" )blah.shit.

kirkt Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 i havent heard anything of him dying but that really is shit. Broccoli come from a fine era of punk bands. Thr drummer from Skimmer (from the same crop of bands that are likely to be found on Crackle Records) commited suicide a few months back too. Real shame.

kirkt Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Roddy from Tearjerk www.tear-jerk-com was in Appleorchard too. It's like people from Broccoli and Appleorchard have been in hundreds of bands...Hardskin, Sedaced, Shoben (or however you pronounce it) etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
