Bands you don’t hear of much that are still out there.

Will Donita Sparks get her growler out?

Terry Christian still hasn't recovered. She did something slightly more outrageous at the Reading Festival early 90s

It's not exactly mainstream but if you can live with Flying Teapot you might enjoy it.

Here & Now still going they were linked to Gong at one time and were the Stonehenge festival house band

Who did you see..i only saw Splodge..Wasted Youth..SLF..Big Country..be a few i've forgotten about.

Wasted Youth! Great gig - still play Wild and Wandering to this day.

Supporting Big Country on their current tour.

To publicise it as 'The Icicle Works' is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. It's McNabb and the original bassist doing versions of TIW songs. It will be decent, but not really TIW.

I think they had to cut the set short for some reason in Newcastle this week.

Go on a city break to France or Germany and you see posters for concerts featuring bands you thought were long gone. Judas Priest were live in Vienna last week.

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

The Pigeon Detectives.

 

[cactus]

Reverend and The Makers - Festival line-up fodder. The sort of band that are just 'there', but I can never imagine them being anyone's favourite band.

Seen them 4 times, never on purpose

Question on this.
Joe Jackson, never hear much about him in the last 25 odd years. Does he still release new music or tour?

Toured a while with Todd Rundgren. Think he's still going.

Didn’t realise he wasn’t American until a few minutes ago. Had an album out last year apparently

Wasted Youth! Great gig - still play Wild and Wandering to this day.

I'd never heard of them..i think the Polytechnic gig was 1982..they were tremendous like..went out and bought the single 'Paris, France' just after it.

He does and has been, I love him, touring this year, new album back end of last year (Max Champion) which is him pretending to be a music hall performer.
