togger Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Scala Timpani - fantastic Sheffield group, saw them live at Top Rank in about 1982,3 or 4. I have still got their session on tape when they did John Peel' radio 1 late night show. Band members were: Russell courtney - on drums Simon Kemp - on Keyboards Russell Bonnell - vocals of the band Vision Chesh Wegrzynski - on lead guitar Alastair Broadhead - on Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddycoffee Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'm pleased to say that I have been in more than one of those bands on that list. However what do you have to do to get a band on the list. I could name 50 or 60 more, do the list bands have to be signed to a record label or just have to exist ? I have been in 20 to 30 bands myself and when I ran a PA system I actually did the sound for 1000 gigs in local venues.. My poor ears ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest somuchnoise Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I stumbled across this topic earlier whilst doing some research into recordings by Sheffield post punk / new wave bands as I'm trying to add to my collection. I was in a local band between 1985 - 1987 and played at one of the 'Dolebusters' events in Weston Park. A cassette compilation entitled 'See You Later Agitator' was issued to coincide with the shows and contains tracks by quite a few bands who do not appear on your list. I thought it might be useful to scan in the artwork and tracklist to share here as it may well jog a few slightly frazzled memories. Edit - It seems my uploads have triggered the 'obscenity filter' due to it containing a few bands using naughty words in their names. So rather than tinker with the original artwork, here's a (lightly censored) list of the bands included on this cassette which do not already appear on the list; Death Trash Johnny Crescendo The Bland The Flexible Penguins Pulp <removed> Henry Normal The Detail <removed> The Nearly Band The Bergmans Hole In The Wall Masons Ritual Disguise Spoon WARNING ! contains swear words, open at your own discretion.

lysander Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Back in the 1960's we had the Four Blades who had a strong following in Europe where they toured NATO bases. Bobby Knutt ( Bob Andrews) was their lead singer . The group broke up following a serious road accident whilst touring in France! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevecarter1000 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Lasrevinu - played The Crucible several times (Stars On Sunday gigs), The Maze and The Nelson Mandela Building - 1983/84. Some guy called Mark Kerly (Curley?) who was the MC at the Crucibles SOS gigs wanted to be our Manager.... I was the bass player (Steve Carter), Bill Buxton on drums and Mark Taylor (RIP) on vocals/guitar. Mark was my Brother-In-Law. We played with Vicious Circles (Fingers Fenton on Guitar/vocals, Simon on bass); God (featuring the (to be) drummer of Pulp); The Howdy Boys (from Nottingham maybe...?); The Flying Alphonso Brothers; possibly Tsi-Tsa at The Crucible?? A few others who I can't remember. You may have seen a 2 page spread in The Star recently about Mark....? It would have been his 50th so his friends and family released balloons around the world to remember him. He died two years ago. I'd be very grateful if anyone has any pics/info on Lasrevinu. Anyone....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BenTye Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I played bass in Oranges for Angels that went on to become Newspeak. Luke "Scotty" Scott was our lead guitarist who subsequently played with Jools Holland and is the regular with Babybird. We gigged by ourselves and supported some good bands and were managed by Smitty who had the Goth shop near the Poly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
