INDIE ALL DAYER: Chameleons Vox, Wedding Present etc...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Sultans of Ping? Did they ever have any songs other than that execrable "Where's Me Jumper"?
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

There was the great Nigel Clough tribute one "Give him a ball and a yard of grass" which had the great chorus (a direct quote from his Dad) - "he's a nice young man, with a lovely smile".
Talking of execrable, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, The Frank & Walters and Cud all on the same bill ? Expect the bar to be very busy.

To be fair, they were decent 'live' (where else apart from CBBC's The Slammer could you shout "you Fat B----" at someone and play with purple balloons for an hour for a fiver) but their songs were instantly forgettable, like for example, erm ...

seen most if not all of the other bands (all at reading festival) and can't say i'm bothered about any of them.
but £27.50 to see the chameleons play "script of the bridge" is good value in anyone's money-especially if they squeeze in "in shreds" as well. :notworthy:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

Why not just hire a back room, invite several uber fans and we'll stick the album on and get busy and possibly a bit maudlin.
