I was at that gig too, and had my walkman conficated 2 songs into the set

I tell you what: If there's any Wonderstuff fans around, they were selling copies of A Wish Away as their "new single". So that's fairly firm dating.

...

I looked it up and it was '88.

Not going too far into lists but Polly Jean was hot, sticky and excellent at the Uni last night. Air conditioning would ruin that place, I think...

myself and a chap called eBlue commented on the fact that even though they tried really, really hard to be specimen, they had neither the tunes, the talent nor the cheekbones.. and that in fact they were actually just a bunch of stunningly average goth musicians. oh, and i think we may have also said that the lass couldn't carry a tune in a bucket

seems their singer, "mr ed", got a trifle upset and has since been asking friends of friends who i am in a bid to validate his band's worth by trying to proove that with a name like "quiff boy" i must have no idea what goth music is about.

all of which was made even more amusing when they turned up at the "heartland vs the sheep" night last week and even danced to half the tunes i played

bloody goths

nice one

He's living in Berlin. Write books. And do gigs.

Heard of him?

I've often wondered, was that album made from a confiscated bootleg as the remark at the very end of it suggests, or was it just added afterwards to make people think it was?

Posted: **11 Sep 2004, 18:35**

@ Dan added afterwards I'd say, the sound quality of the album is too good

Posted: **11 Sep 2004, 22:03**

I mean the concert after they cut the hair.

Posted: **11 Sep 2004, 23:16**

Paradise Lost were a great band in waiting, then they decided to be something else.
Why?

Maybe cause their intelligence and good ideas went away with the cut of the hair.
