Freaky deaky, I was at sweetwaters 99 and I never saw Pere Ubu, I swore they had been cancelled. Bummer. I was meant to be writing an acocount of it for Rip it Up whon I wroked for then, but somehow it got canned.
I remember the Stranglers being really bad. Nathan haines was very good though and the Mad Professor. Donovan was there too!
Yeah I'd have to agree that while he plays drums, Craig Terris pulls the kind of faces and contortions that would otherwise indicate the guy has serious constipation problems or some sort of rising pain twisting within him. A photo anyone?
Doh! my mistake.
but it's surely a mistake.
Oh well, good luck to them.
This article doesn't say anything about Hart playing drums. I think it's pretty well known he's the second guitarist/keyboardist they had at the end anyway...
I think the line "we are currently auditioning to find someone special to take that role" refers to the drummer.

from the excerpts I read in your blog Steph, I have to agree it's pretty wrong, especially coming from a guy who has the temerity to inflict some of the most evilly bland music on people and brag without a hint or irony about being great. "Pathetic" doesn't quite sum up their music so much as "appalling" but the former could be applied to Pete Rudd in his desperate attempt to gain some sort of credibility from such a low-rent rendezvous. Christ, what a loser... as if anyone would be stoked to have had their way with someone like Sadis Frost, she's probably been with Pete's grandmother too.
At any rate, I would rather listen to Air Supply than a bunch of Feelers-esque plankton like Tourist.
oh sorry Golem, I misread your comment.
Well they didn't quite review the Black Seeds album so much as dismiss it like garnish in one succint sentence.
Still, I bet Rip It Up ran a glowing review so at least the serious music scribes take the Seeds seriously
//It's worse than you thought
do you mean the album or the review?
was the review good or bad?
It made a fairly valid assessment, but for Black Seeds diehards it won't quite have analysed the songs to the depth they may otherwise expect, I'd say.
It's not all bad in Pavement:
Did anyone notice the review of the Black Seeds new album in the new edition?
Yo Eddie,
as a former member of tough love, i empathise with you about Mark's poster covering antics.
It's not cricket, I agree, fuck them. Lame posters too. But wanted to let you know I've long since left the building so not to hold me as part of it.

right on homeboy,
nothing like getting conversation rolling about yerself to project a little self legendising
//could this poll slander someone personally more?
Yeah, damnit, who started this topic?
he has a certain pathological charm. Fools a lot of people I'd say.
I cant believe all Ross's so-called friends have actually been playing him along like this.
Dude, let's be frank, dreads are a hindrance to your street credibility. Do you actually think they give you soul? mana? I can accept that some people think they're funky, but i fear the times will sweep it by, just take a leaf out of zak's book and play the numbers game. You're a good lookin' guy, but you could show people you've got more than one trick in your hand...
Lucky colour red, number 53.
LA are at Happy tonite Saturday, supporting The Shrugs, and then playing again next Friday March 3rd at Chow Cabaret (Wgtn)
Tasteful drummer required for W art rock band.
It may sound a bit pompous, but it aint.
Wellington-based four piece with songs forged, let's say, in the spirit of Talking Heads, Roxy Music, The Cars and Devo, is about to lose drummer to o/seas and need a new one!
please email johnny at sirin@xtra.co.nz if interested
//fundamentalists, the rapture and israeli peace process...that is some scary shit
isn't it just.
Tim Le Haye and Jerry Falwell etc dont want to see a two state solutino in the middle east, and in fact want to get the battle happening... they have the power to accelerate a lot of bad shit.
it's part of post-modern ironic cool to like such stuff, i believe
I think Lipstick Fixx was the band you're looking for.
Search for the Knave Knixx, he'll have the right leotards for your fit
