"slinky" is simply one of the greatest indie albums of all time,i may be slightly biased but listening again to their excellent songs makes you realise why so many people miss them.

Hang on, do I know you?<BR/><BR/>Seem to remember them introducing every song the played with "This is our favourite song". <BR/><BR/>Support was an unsigned (I think) band from Colne too. Think they were called "Beware The Green Monkey" or suchlike, I bought a tape, it was pretty good. <BR/><BR/>I ended up being a huge MB fan and bought every 12" they released... And then they released Valve. Still got them all somewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-36533884753031954282007-08-20T13:20:00.000+01:002007-08-20T13:20:00.000+01:00And of course "Here I Stand" was the theme to the ...And of course "Here I Stand" was the theme to the excellent "All Quiet on the Preston Front"Johnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908392733427157954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-90207835119736720882007-08-19T18:18:00.000+01:002007-08-19T18:18:00.000+01:00I played in a band called the Big Name Hunters.. ...I played in a band called the Big Name Hunters.. We supported the Milltown Bros at a college in Bournemouth once. We played happy guitar pop which was all the rage and these guys came on with Hammond Organs and anoraks. "That'll never last" I though just as the Manchester scene exploded all over the country. I seem to remember they were quite good.
