Grebo

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Wise up suckers! How grebo rivalled Britpop as the sound of 90s indie

Liked Pop Will Eat Itself, thought the rest of them were shite.

Merely reading the words "The Wonder Stuff" brings on a black depression of biblical proportions.

Didn't even know there was such a thing, and if i had heard the name i would have imagined something edgier than tge wonder stuff. Ew. Mind you at this moment in time I'm watching a queen trubute band. 'Brian' is doing the solo guitar wank section. So, file under what do I know.

If only. And the drummer actually looked like Brian May. What's that all about. The singer looked like middle aged bloke in a false moustache and an ill-fitting vest. Close your eyes though, and you could have been at wembley in 1984. OK, you're not buying that either are you. What has it come to eh?

Is that some kind of euphemism? :wink:

No, it's some kind of 73yr old woman with a ridiculously powerful voice.

I regularly see and chat to Elkie's brother, and that is not a euphemism.

Believe she still has a powerful voice. Mrs Ten saw her on the TV recently and said she still has it. I caught the recent Old Grey Whistle Test re runs with a clip of Elkie and Robert Palmer in Vinegar Joe. Was nothing like Pearls a Singer.

Queen Tribute Band is that not Treason

We've seen her twice now and she blew me away both times, in fact this time was better than the last. The music isn't really my cup of tea but that voice man, that voice ... she does a few rockier numbers too which is good for me, a couple of hours of Lilac Wine style stuff would have me running for the hills.
