Menswear

Did you rate them?

 

[DJ Leon]

At the time I did, but I was young, caught up in the heady days of a musical movement that I really believed meant something.

They were, of course, shit.

 

[Gwylan]

Pony

 

[blockhseagull]

No

Didn't their singer have a poncy floppy hairstyle ?

 

[Da Man Clay]

No, awful.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Stardust was a cracking record. An indie pop gem. The rest of their stuff wasn't up to much.

 

[Les Biehn]

Went to see them at the Paradox in their hayday. Legendary! or just a bit shit.

 

[surrey jim]

No

 

[zefarelly]

We gigged with them a few times . . . . once we sold out the Zap CLub and they got booed off and shit thrown at them by all our mates/fans etc

they where f***ing crap FACT

and I loved the home advantage system of gigs in Brighton back then

we also played the same night with a nother flop band called Heavy Stereo, they where shyte as well, but nice enough guys . . . one of them plays for some slade/beatles type covers band now . . OOsis or something I think they're called ?

 

[Mr Banana]

First person to find a member of Menswear who hasn't died of a smack overdose wins a 12" copy of Daydreamer

 

[zefarelly]

they couldn't have afforded it Benny, they only sold 12 records

you'd be hard pushed to find a copy of Daydreamer . . .in fact your probably more likely to find a copy of our single

 

[brighton2win]

where's the "who?" option?

 

[zefarelly]

does anyone remember Plastic Fantastic ?

 

[Grendel]

In fairness to them, they weren't quite as dire as Hurricane #1 or Northern Uproar.

Still crap though.

What was the name of your band zefarelly?

 

[zefarelly]

Moloko PLus and latterly known as Shiner as we got offered a deal just as Moloko got press etc. It all went down hill from there really !

 

[The Large One]

My only abiding memory of Menswear was that I remember doing a stall at the Essential Festival a few years ago.

Some stroppy teenager was giving me lip about 'what was the point of the Anti-Nazi League when there aren't any Nazis about?' I told her calmly and she just got more and more irate. Eventually I told her (perhaps not over kindly) to bugger off and go and annoy someone else.

At which point, she threw herself on the ground, screamed hysterically, thumping and kicking the ground cartoon-style before, teary-eyed, standing up and shouting at me - with absolutely no sense of irony - 'You horrible, horrible person. I'm going to get Johnny from Menswear to beat you up. I love him and he's very strong...'

I've still got one of your singles. Ian Immediate gave - not sold - me a copy.

I was reading a bio on them and they managed to sign a record deal after 5 gigs
