ok, this is totally off topic, but things round here seem pretty quiet right now, so, now for something completely different!!

New Model Army:
the last bastions of political & social commentry?
or, a bunch of crusty old soap dodgers who want to try to work for a living?

discuss....

I have 2 old records from them, and they are pretty good.

I don`t know what they are up to now, but I guess you mean that they still make albums, and that they do bad music now. ??:

crusty old soap dodgers...definately..should never have cut justins hair

Good tunes.... undeniable.....

But, are OLD rebbels still rebels as far as the "kids" are concerned....

Or do we, with mortgages and 9-5s just still think of em' like that ?

Paddy.

they seem to be quite busy with other projects: Justin Sulivan is currently promoting his solo album - with Dean White (kbds). Dave Blomberg from NMA has got 2 new bands: Nozzle www.nozzle.org.uk and Dance On Glass www.danceonglass.co.uk. Nelson has just released an album with KIP KEINO. Michael Dean (drums) is currently on tour with Justin Sullivan and also plays drums with Nozzle.

NMA, you got to love them. They winge and moan like true martyrs. Who else could get away with

"It was money we asked for, and money they gave
god how it made us easy to enslave"
lights go out

They could bitch for England and then some. Got every album upto Purity then they lost it, must have made to much money to continue being the champions of the terminal moaners.

Definetly a bunch of crusty old soap dodgers who want to try to work for a living? Only joking

I like them a whole lot.

The last few albums have seen the whinging cut down substantially. Ever since that incedent with the lighting rig on stage Justin's lyrics have taken on a more spiritual side.

saw them once at ocean.

could have been last year. could have been the year before. anyway, they sucked.

top venue though.

that is all.

They were at the Leeds gig on Saturday.
Saw em there in the crowd.

i saw NMA in 93 -- one of the best gigs i ever saw
unfortunately Sullivan performed in my home town just the same evening when i was in Sis live in Berlin...
but i don't regret that i was in Berlin.
this was evidently the best gig i ever seen
sorry, i'm drunk...

First saw NMA in 1983 - the same year I first saw the Sisters .

Both have changed beyond recognition . Saw NMA last year as well as Justin`s solo show .They are ok I suppose but they have lost all the oomph that made them what they were in the early days . Most of what they do now is ballad/busking type stuff .

I have to admit that they've played some of the best gigs I've ever been to but they're still a bunch of crusty old soap dodgers (but then so am I - my clothes were white when I put them on.)

LOVE nma!

saw the guy who got me into them last night and ended up crooning "no greater love" for no reason....

never seen 'em live

Ghost of Cain - what an album !

I have not bothered since the "Green and Grey" album though!
