Best Leeds Bands Ever

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.

Nope.All About Eve actually are from London,they were formed there in 1985,although Julianne Regan is originally from Coventry,Tim Bricheno and Andy Cousin are from Huddersfield.As for Mark Price I really don't know where he originally is from at all.They all headed down to London to form the band.

of course, you know hussey was bi-sexual too? allegedly. during the 80s and early 90s at least...

or does "bi" not register on bigot-o-scope?

whilst (almost) everyone's comments are (more or less) welcome on heartland, i will have NO form of bigotry posted here - be it racism, homophobia, misogyny or whatever other insidious form your personal small-mindedness happens to take.

if you hate soft cell then you hate soft cell. but dont post that s**t here...

you're welcome.

Right On QB!
this must be a haven of harmony, let's face it, between us we know so much nonsense that's it's daft to drift into tabloid crap. Who needs it?

Fight The Power!

ta. and now back to normality.

ryly: does anyone really think the lorries are all that fantastic? i mean they were ok - they made a nice noise and all that, but i never really got their sound... a bit of a dirge in places with only one or two real dancefloor fillers/show stoppers.

also, i notice no one mentions rose of avalanche. probably for the best, eh? ;) :urff:
