Groovin' With Lucy

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.

I saw a video by this band on a Kiss The Blade VHS. The sound quality was appallingly quiet, but the song wasn't that bad. Google doesn't seem to know of their existance, so does anyone here have any information on them at all?

I tried to find out about this band too. I searched around on usenet, google, asked around in IRC rooms, searched for their songs on SoulSeek and Limewire, and I found nothing.

It’s almost as if the band never existed. :|

I have an odd feeling one of the Kiss The Blade fanzines may have an article about them, now I come to think about it. I still have a few copies someone lent me, I'll take a look later.

Failing that, it seems we have a disappearing band mystery on our hands.

From memory.

They had ex 3000 revs members..
The song on the kiss the blade VHS doesn't really sound like their other stuff. I think they did that before they really had a full band.
They had one 12" in 1988 - "that's rock n roll" 3 tracks I think. On Karbon records.

I saw them a few times.
They were quite good.
I have the 12" somewhere & a live tape from the Warehouse.

I'm sure I know more than that but my head only holds so much stuff & then something new pushes out something else.

Oh, and it's Groovin with Lucy - not Grooving. Might be easier to find something.

and .....
they used to cover this ...

Artist: Hawkwind
Song: Needle Gun

So you're alive, I thought you was done ...

So you're alive, I thought you was done
I'm gonna bring you down with my needle gun
Feel my pin-prick tattoo your spine
Give it a minute, your life's entwined with mine

It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun
It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun

Hear my laughter in your head
It's a pity, it's a shame nothing's been said
It's a vaccination joy with the ultimate death toy
It's gonna make you run, needle gun! needle gun!

It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun
It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun

It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun
It's gonna make you run
Evil needle, needle needle gun!

(Needle gun!)

Ah, and with that change from "Grooving" to "Groovin", Google becomes more helpful.

Thanks biggy.

Saw them once at the sadly now demolished Narrowboat in Nottingham.

Pretty good as I remember, never seen a vinyl or filthy-digital-disc, I may have a cassette somewhere :?

Wasn;t Grape Gregory in this band and if i recall he was the lead singer in 300 Revs with Adam Pearson on geeetar.

You wouldn't send us a copy, would you, dear Ems?

I have absolutely no recollection of that ems :oops:
