Great stuff. You guys should really get some dates sorted out "dan south", soon.

[Dave Smith]

Cheers GP.Will do.Our original singer quit on us last Sunday as well so we had to wing it as well!Any similiarity with Will Seargeant is purely coincidental!lol.

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

Your original singer quit? So was the person who sang on the tracks on the radio show different or has he been replaced, or were you just winging it as a band now frontman-less but using the original tracks.

[Dave Smith]

That wasnt me singing-trust me!It was all played live to air on the night.Bass player stepped up who sings anyway.The BBC studio is in the middle of Shrewsbury ,got there early and went for a pint opposite into the roughest BNP pub you could imagine!Quick exit followed as I think they thought we were coppers!

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

I have been to Shrewsbury a few times in the past. Nice town. Dodgy club there with loose women if you know what I mean.

plus a mench for that yellow tag lot. Can hear a bit of your sisters influence in there too I reckon. think I prefer this bloke singing to the other one. I'd offer my own services but unless you want a nasal whine somewhere between dylan and reed but without either's ability to hold a tune I'd be of no use.

[fat cherry]

and i dont mean your sister, I mean your 'Sisters', as in ..of mercy. thanks. and goodnight.

[Dave Smith]

FC-we're just miserable-ists.But I would be lying if I said I didnt spend a load of time when I was 16 playing Reptile House ep.....still love those Gary Marx guitars.....Hussey was a twat though!Thanks for listening.

[black francis]

Digging this myself. Love the Sisters influence and yeah I like this vocalist over the previous.

Do you guys do a lot of gigs or is tough getting out?

[Dave Smith]

We'd recorded an album with the old singer which needs re-doing so thats the next couple of months sewn up.We gig when we can tbh just a matter of not over-doing it.My amps weigh a ton!lol.
