The Scaramanga Six

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.

Last night I went to go watch a Leeds band called The Scaramanga Six. Possibley of note to those on here as being one of Chris Catalyst's previous bands.

They absolutely rocked and I urge you to check them out! Hole In The Wall and Misadventure are two tracks on their myspace which I've been listening to a lot. Its well crafted rock music like it should be done: Dramtic but not overbearing, forceful yet not without elegance - generally worth checking out.

I always enjoy seeing a live show of a band I don't know much about and going away with a feeling that I made the right choice to go watch them.

I thin I have some of their material from Chris's time in the band somewhere.

I've got Scaramanga Six's "The Liar the Bitch and her Wardrobe", which is possibly the best name for an album ever.

I 'm listening to the 7" (yes, you heard right) I bought at the show: Baggage. It's really rather good!

I have the Cabin Fever CD, not sure if Chris is on it or not, but it's a good record regardless. IIRC it was only a fiver from their website - well worth a punt if you're curious
