I'm kind of reluctant to admit it but a mate of mine persuaded me to go and see a couple of bands in the Uni bar - they weren't I guess strictly a support act but were first on and I do actually have an album of theirs.
spill the beans!
Sometimes to Gain A Little Respect you need to keep it to yourself.
HAHA! They're not bad pop songs to be fair.
How long ago?Not exactly, but I was wandering around New York City at lunchtime many years ago and I stumbled upon a park where a band was giving a free concert. They were one of the best bands I have ever heard. They were called Pre-Flyte, had an amazing female lead singer and seemed to be a Jefferson Airplane copycat band. Have never heard of them before or since and have no idea who their lead singer was.
This leads to the obvious question.At the time I had the obligatory rock gear. Denim jacket, no arms and patches and did fell somewhat not at home when Mr Bell revealed he was all hot and sweaty and had to take his top off and my mate was begging him to throw it our way.
So even back then he was leader of the pack?This leads to the obvious question.
Did you have a motorbike?
I think wearing just denim was ok, it was the one's wearing a leather bike jacket with the tassles on the arms with a denim waistcoat on top with all the patches who had either come on the train or had been dropped off by their mum. I would have thought wearing a denim waistcoat would have been ok for an Erasure gig especially if he was barechested underneath?This leads to the obvious question.

My son thought Erasure were brilliant from the age of 7. Took him to a few concerts, including one at Manchester Apollo when he was 7 or 8. We were quite far back, and when a security guy walked past us, he stopped and said the lad will never see from here, so come with me. He took us to the front, passed the "VIP" rope and we ended up on row 1. The gig was very good, and he had a great view of course.
I saw the security guy later and offered him a few quid, but he wouldn't hear of it. Really nice of him to do that.
Early 80's. Maybe 81-3.How long ago?
I saw Monster Magnet support Queens Of The Stone Age back in about 2000. Never heard of them at the time but they are a decent band. Scared the hell out of me at the time though.
