It's now a hairdressers. They sold Vietnam style military tees with the band name on, a sign of cool at our school!

Check YouTube for videos to "You're Always Right" and "Life Support Machine", you'll see what I mean. Boag and Hooligan still playing together as The Orphans.<BR/><BR/>S*M*A*S*H's eponymous EP is well worth checking out. Real Surreal AND Lady Love Your C*** would both feature on the soundtrack if somebody decided to make a film about my youth.Jones The Earshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13124767495238617430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-38609128484341039632008-09-01T15:47:00.000+01:002008-09-01T15:47:00.000+01:00Smash were part of NME's 'new wave of new wave' wi...Smash were part of NME's 'new wave of new wave' with the likes of These Animal Men (rubbish) and Compulsion (great). The Melody Maker retaliated with 'RoMo' or 'romantic modernism'. Neither invented genre covered the magazines in glory, but at least new wave of new wave had some good tunes.breakfastofchampionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248839955241207653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-4393819462749980192008-07-23T23:42:00.000+01:002008-07-23T23:42:00.000+01:00Incidentally the band 'A' are bloody hard to googl...Incidentally the band 'A' are bloody hard to google too.Charleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930144389711063240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-36216731859727974392008-04-22T09:42:00.000+01:002008-04-22T09:42:00.000+01:00Re: The bit about WGC's bus station.
