I know that they had a slight leaning towards the HeeHaw sound...and i saw them once (i think)...i even bought the single...

i have a few inca babies 12"s and an album knocking about somewhere

dunno about the band as a whole, but as far as i recall one of them lived in salford for while in the early 90s

yeah, "birthday party wannabees" is pretty accurate, but they did have some good tunes - the judge, doomed locustland, cop something-or-other - good stuff

RTTT-
I bought Paint Your Wagon because I'd seen (and more importantly) heard, Walking on Your Hands.



there was a 7" single with the album too, it was shite as well.

Chance!

i did have the unfortunate pleasure of talking to Mary Mary form Gaye Bikers.

They supported The Cult on the Eletric tour, I thought they were execllent - btter than the cult by then who'd gone far to rocky. My mate disagreed, and Mary Mary tapped me on the shoulder and said that in fact my mate was right they were s**t!

12 years later he contributed vocals to an album I released by Hoodlum Priest, he was in Apollo 440 by then though.

Wretched

just found this:

"The first Hoodlum Priest downloads are tracks from the classic "Heart of Darkness" album originally released on ZTT."

oh yeah, and the lorries were top. some of their stuff is a trifle "dark" and hard on the ears, but by god when they found a groove they rocked like bastards

and wolfie is a lovely bloke

Heart of darkness is ok I do have it on CD the rapper kind of kills it for me though. I released the eponymously titled second album. My label was called Iris Light, it's kind of in hiatus at the moment.

I'm very pleased to have played with four of the above and been in one. Rock yo!

Swervedriver?

The Swervies were bloody excellent, that first LP is still an all-time classic. Seem to remember they toured the States with some hair metal crowd, blew them off stage every night, and got treated to a lousy sound as a result. Wouldn't really classify them as "grebo" (although one or two members certainly had the requisite hair), but they just ended up getting lumped into every scene that was current and I don't think that did them much good in the longer term.

Well... they were f**king awful by the time we got to play with em, but Liquidiser was a quality album and I'll not have it said otherwise. Next you'll be trying to tell me Ned's Atomic Dustbin were rubbish.

(I think the closet grebo infiltrator who happens to know Quiffboy and every other bloody goth over 30 in manc has just been outed...)

I got dragged along to see Jesus Jones once. Never again. Dreadful.

Ned's Atomic Dustbin were great though. As were Crazyhead.

I saw PWEI supporting the Shamen once, when they were both jangly bands. Not good and IMO they got worse...

The Lorries were indeed a most excellent group - the drummer stood up if I remember correctly? Or at least he did the time I saw them play The Venue in Edinburgh. A quality noise.

Not so pleased with Chris Reeds latest effort though.

re Grebo..."Claytown Troupe" anyone? Saw them twice, loved them and then they disappeared......

Bloody Hell that's going back a bit...X-Mal...what was *her* name?!!!

Saw The Lorries in the Venue 3/4 times, were you there when they Headlined with Christion Death?.

The Claytown Troupe were one of my favorites, did a few dates with them in 89/90, Two LP's, they toured a lot back then..........but so did everyone , weren't Grebo though, more Gothy Metal

Claytown Troupe was just a bad guitar band, stab me Dad!
