Hee hee, yes he produced a rather good one didn't he

Debaser

and not to be confused with the Gang Of Four/Shriekback bassist/producer with the same namesake.

j0hn.......

awww and Shriekback are my no#2 band <serious>

peeved
of Glasgow

He did loadsa stuff for The Cure as well, didn't he? Head on the Door and suchlike.

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?)

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

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

Nice one NTS!


@ Z, hmmm I hear echoes from the glory 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

Anyone got this? (Cormorant) Do they tour? etc

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...
