madannie77 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Anybody remember this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5dsa98YEAJI/SC6U...0-h/Bouquet.jpg Supposedly all the bands were from Sheffield. I never owned a copy, and can't recall most of the music on here (John Peel played stuff from it at the time). Apart from the combos already listed on here I can only recall hearing music by The Scarborough Antelopes and Repulsive Alien More about the LP here: http://phoenixhairpins.blogspot.com/2008/0...f-steel-lp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stanowl Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Rollin Thunder were a Sheffield band around in the late 80's. Saw them at the Leadmill supporting Green on Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl1867 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 My brothers, Simon and David, were in Artery and they were also both in Pulp. David is now a member of the recently reformed Artery. Now there's a thing - the orginal Artery were one of my favourite Sheffield bands. I also went to school with Murray pre punk when he was a massive Genesis fan!

Put together by the infamous Marcus Featherby. I saw most of those bands around Sheffield late 70s/early 80s and some of them were very good. I still have lots of records by some of them Artery, Vendino Pact, I'm so Hollow could have all made it very big. I'd go so far to say that Comsat Angels could have been massive. There was a time you could go and see a decent band any night of the week unless they were playing at the University and you had to take your chance being signed in by po faced students.

Guest Zipgun Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I don't know if I'm missing the point here, but you're all missing out the local Rock'n'Roll, Rockabilly and Psychobilly bands. The Slingshots The Sharpcuts The Mercurys The Stilletos The 57s The Harlemaires Don Valley And The Rotherhides The Valley Boys The Rockin' Beer Monsters The Zyclones The Radiacs The E.P. Hillbillies Carmen Ghia And The Hot Rods The Blue Devils Lightnin' Skinner And The Strikes Egor's Back Bedroom Haywire The Slapscat The Chuck Fowler Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 What kind of year are we talking here please ? Never heard of any of 'em; mind you, I left Sheffield in 1981. A local band to me in the bleak North-East (not of your ilk) that had a tremendously silly name were : The Star-Spangled Chest-Wigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zipgun Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The Chuck Fowler Band were on the go in the 70s and onwards. I'm surprised Chuck A.K.A. The Killamarsh Killer hadn't had a mention already, he was a face on the Sheffield music scene since the late 50s/early 60s. The most recent of the bands I named are Carmen Ghia And The Hot Rods who are currently burning brightly all over England let alone Sheffield.

Guest right right bratty Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I was in a couple of bands in the late 70s. One was Reactor. Played around Sheffield and supported UK Subs in Bradford. Second was Molodoy. Played the Limit, Crazy Daisy etc and supported Sham 69 at polytechnic Would be nice if someone remembered us. Can anyone remember the Right Right Bratty s. This is Molodoy posters all over Sheffield at the time? They had the Clockwork Orange Theme. I was the guitarist in Reactor and Molodoy and can just about remember those days. Loads of laughs and drunken nights. Life seemed a lot simpler then. Which band member are you then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their version of "Stone Free", one of Hendrix´s first songs, on the flip side of "Hey Joe" was fantastic. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saw119 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Okl, here goes. Here are some bands who gigged around Sheffield nin the Early to mid '90's: Marmalade Sun (who I think became 30 Second Rodeo for a while), Various Vegetables (they were from Sheffield wern't they?), The Lost Chord (drummer was a school friend of mine), Speedy (still have their demo dated 23/10/94), Blammo (supported The Beatiful South at the Arena '92 I think) and Speaking of the South; what about Paul Heaton? I have quite a collection of gig flyers from the early/mid-nineties, one day I'll find them all out and write a memoir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
