Just a plug for the new Jetstream Pony video, from the 7" single just released on Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten. We've just confirmed that we're playing At The Edge of the Sea next year for the 10th Anniversary, looking forward to it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-4_UdV0c9U

Hi all, Haven't been on here for a while, but hope you'll excuse the shameless publicity... Beth Arzy (Trembling Blue Stars / The Luxembourg Signal) and I have formed a new band, called Jetstream Pony - named after my missus' retired greyhound (also called Jenna). We did some demos last...

After I left, which is a shame for me, as I love Pavement. Keith heard them in the US, I think...

Most of the Leeds post-punk bands were formed by students at the University or Poly, and TWP were no exception - two Mancs (though David was born in Leeds, he was brought up (like Peter) in Middleton, Manchester, where he went to school with The Chameleons), Keith from the North East, and a...

Simgull, blimey, if you saw us at the Royal Park, you must have been one of about five people! I think it was just Peter with the England shirts (and Leeds Utd scarf made into a guitar strap) I remember many of those gigs, the Go-Betweens, The Fall, Husker Du (I remember they filled the gaps...

Pevenseagull, slightly later era! Leeds was still very goth in 1984...

Reclaim your inner goth! Many gigs watching Andrew Eldritch's hat floating above the dry ice. Actually Staly, I think we were at a lot of the same gigs at the Warehouse, Bogshed, MBV (with the original "Paint A Rainbow" era singer, The Nightingales..

Nice to catch up with this thread. Interesting having Josef K as the start of the awkward side. There were definitely two sides to C86, one descended from Orange Juice, but the other side were the children of Mark E Smith, I'd say, rather than Josef K. That said, Josef K were a big influence on...

Ah, I remember Adam and Eve's, Leeds in the late 1980s, Monday nights at the Phono. I remember seeing 999 too back in 1985 in the Riley Smith Hall at Leeds University. The singer looked like Bob Hoskins, from memory, they seemed like old punks then, let alone now... It's always great to see...

The pitch has been moved...

So Indietracks 2015 has come and gone with nary a mention on here! Shame about the rain on Friday and Sunday, but I enjoyed The Luxembourg Signal, the bits of Tuff Love I got to see, Evans The Death (finally better than a recent iffy London show), The Leaf Library were good too, wish I'd seen...

Hi all, just a bit of publicity..... Oh Peas! Have been added to The Fireworks, andThe Luxembourg Signal at the Hope and Ruin on Saturday 18th July. It's free and that makes it a triple Indietracks bill warm up.... What do people think of the compilation? I think it's pretty good this year...

I always felt a bit stupid with one drum (there's a similar old video for "Once More"), but you can't lug 'em all up to Beachy Head! Yes, they are all still in Brighton, Wendy and Simon have teenage kids nowadays... The band are really good mates, so they never really split up, just stopped...

They didn't play Someone You Love... It was a good gig though, Wendy is a singing teacher these days, and her voice is even stronger than it was way back when. It used to be buried a bit too much, but it really stands out these days. Pop Fiction has some great tunes too. I think Simon might...

Actually, last week a train I was on from berlin to Cologne was 3.5 hours late due to "Personal Unfall" - personal accident, which could be euphamism.... We got free water, 50% fare back, and I'm waiting for a "present" from them through the post, to make up for it. A long old day though, on a...

Ahh, thanks! You picked my one... (we're still working on how to play it live), though my favourite is "Took It All". We've been really chuffed at how many different songs are mentioned in reviews, rather than just the singles. Looking forward to Indietracks too...

Yeh, they have actually on pre-orders, though the other 400 are in white vinyl which I quietly think looks better. Our friend Andy Hart did a great job on the sleeve, which looks good with the vinyl too...

I'm not sure to be honest. I've been telling friends, but don't think they have wristbands. I have been presuming you can wander in. It's certainly free... if I hear anything about the wristbands I will let you know!

Evening all.... just thought I'd mention that The Fireworks album is finally available for streaming via this link. Out on Tuesday with a free gig at the Rough Trade East shop (just off Brick Lane in that London) on Thursday at 7pm. Sorry about the self promotion but I think it's come out...

It's ridiculous to have a competition about two important bands. I would agree there was way too much Paul Morley in that documentary. Kept referring to The Beatles, in a way that seemed to suggest he was more interested in slagging them off than actually contributing to a Kraftwerk...
