May be playing a north yorkshire town in October / November time.

Did the 'Gangwar' tour with your band, Allfear? the-happening is selling this poster on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 75412&rd=1

Bloody Hell, I made that Poster with Microsoft Publisher version 1 for windows!!!!

Those were great gigs, but JR was well pissed up both nights.

I emailed tha happening just out of curiousity as to where he got the poster from. It was either In Resurrection in london or off the wall at the Mercat in birmingham, The Manchester date there was a proper poster done (that I have hung in my Hallway).

Those 2 gigs were fing ace!!!!!


Rev Rev on Whitby.

some friends of mine (in a band called ketamine) supported mr ray at a gig in manchester around that time and he was non-too sober then either

that was the 2nd manc gig in 1996, Ketimine did a demo called who are the bastards in black or summit didnt they?

that sounds about right for them... they always had a bizarre sense of humour, and an intense love of football

they were all mad man city fans, and i believe they changed their musical style dramatically a couple of years later and ended up a big-beat dance combo a la "bentleys rhythm ace", and have had one of their tracks played at maine road at half-time

He just can't keep away from the music industry.

Did anyone see the 4080peru gig?
Was it any good?
cheers,

I posted this question in this thread last week, but it seems to have vanished...

I asked my friend who used to put bands on at the Mercat on a Saturday night about hosting a James Rays Gangawar gig. He'd already had a Gangwar gig about 1995 and a year later we had a mix of Gangwar / MK Ultra. If I remember rightly it was advertised as such on A4 flyers around Birmingham. I've still got all the flyers for the Mercats gigs including Matts
All Living Fear.
James Ray (Eric Mayfield) drank the whole rider (Newcastle Brown ale) before the show and he was really wasted before he and the band took to the stage. I remember it being very dark and they played Eddie Sedgewick amongst others.
Unfortunately I don't remember there being any merchandise as I always wanted a Gangwar shirt with the eagle on it from the sleeve of Dios Esta De Neustro Lado. I haven't seen them since.
James Ray occasionally crops up at Sisters shows in the audience.

And on this website

Mr Ray, if you're reading this, daft question I suppose, but the guy who looked like you at the Joseph's Well Near Meth Experience gig last month was you wasn't it?

Edited due to broken time machine being fixed at some point in the future, resulting in an endless eddy in the very fabric of the space/time continuum.

I was expecting this thread to just contain the word 'Trading'

More of a deathstyle choice I would have thought.

I prefer: "Smoking kills - no it fuckin' dosen't - fifty-seven!"

if tony james had grown up watching robert rodriguez films, and eldritch had accepted the offer to sing with sputnik, i like to think they would have sounded a lot like gangwar

Really? Is that what it takes.
