All 3 albums are monumentally good still and statues should be erected somewhere for all but pigeons and a few in the know to ignore.

To be fair the drummer was a nice bloke. That bass player and that ponce that sang and played guitar were a pair of wankers. Even then the drummer sat away from them.<BR/><BR/>In fact, I can envisage them looking themselves up on the internet fairly regularly, in which case - Hello, the two blokes from Kingmaker who weren't the drummer. I can't imagine you've become nicer people in all this time, so I'm here to tell you - you're even bigger wankers than you were back then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-79050416106659772632007-08-27T18:01:00.000+01:002007-08-27T18:01:00.000+01:00I remember the tour with Radiohead, a very messy n...I remember the tour with Radiohead, a very messy night at The Junction in Cambridge.

I scanned through NME and wrote letters to the management of any bands that were on tour at that time. Kingmaker were the only ones to write back, putting me on the guest list for their gig in Hull that weekend. Unfortunately, as a piss-poor student I had no way of getting to Hull at such short notice, so I missed out on interviewing Kingmaker. I also missed out on interviewing their support act - some bunch of chancers from Oxford called Radiohead.<BR/><BR/>True story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-17736653974863502702007-08-18T20:48:00.000+01:002007-08-18T20:48:00.000+01:00I fucking loved Kingmaker.
