Dave Allen

Know the whereabouts of any ex-Sisters members or hangers-on? Got any amusing anecdotes about members of the band, past or present? Post 'em here...

Shriekback went down after Carl Marsh left, they went further down when Dave Allen walked, All back together and touring former glories these days, and NO, I haven't been to see them. Somethings must remain untouched.

He worked on the 1981 Human League album "Dare" (Martin Rushent was the Producer I think) and "Misty Circles" by Dead Or Alive when that gobshi'te Hussey was a member (is it just me or when I think of the word member when used in connection with That Guitarist, the term 'prick' comes to mind?) :lol:

I read about that somewhere too, but did not 'hear' this link yet :notworthy:

Anyway, the track the site plays doesn't seem to sound very much like the Shriekback of back in the days :(

Hmmm, yea, second and better listen shows more echoes indeed...

Oh, collectors: The malicious damage records site mentions there's a limited edition of the record coming soon, so if you're a collector/completist, keep an eye on it :wink: :D

I haven't got it, but you can get it here (which you had probably figured out yourself, but anyway)

Haven't found anything about live stuff though...
