i’m in vancouver area, too, so i know you wouldn’t hear bands like these on cfox or any other ‘commercial’ stations. the place to hear’em at that time would be the coolest radio station that ever existed here- coast radio- am800 or 1040. the station died because crtc wouldn’t give them an fm band/license they applied for, because no one listened to music on am. so sad. alt-pop and non-top 40 music didn’t get any exposure here without coast. jangle-pop forever! ;o)

@lizetnl Hi, I can tell you for a fact they have never supported U2!?!

@BIGSNOUT They sound like the Dylans, no?

This song is alright, but I don’t believe I heard it before. I notice it’s from 1990, that;s awhile ago & I really wasn’t listening to pop radio on a regular basis, so I might of missed out. They could be punk and if that’s the case then most punk bands don’t really get all tat much attention from ourr local FM stations here in Vancouver Cda. . . . at least back when. Perhaps moreso now on CFOX FM, but then I wouldn’t know. Rockabilly never got played here back when either, so there! THX

@BIGSNOUT I knew Matt at school to and people said that he was caught taking a dump behind a bus and standing in it while drunk on a school trip to France, everytime I see him on TV I always laugh at that story,

i saw these all the time when they used to play in london, at the borderline, they were mental and kicked arse on stage, totally never got the recognition they deserved. wicked posting

I went to school with Matt Nelson. He was a sarcastic, arrogant prick that nobody liked.

Class! Not heard this in years, lost my copy of the album Slinky time ago. Think Noel Gallagher slightly ripped off the melody from this for “Up in the sky”, sounds well like it.
January 27th, 2012 at 1:10 am
First band to ever play live on Blue Peter!!
January 27th, 2012 at 1:14 am
