Well...they go there, perform a few songs, leave, have one flop and are never seen again. But that would be too long a title.
We've had Tymes 4, Skandal, Rose (who didn't even release a single) Spin City (ANYONE remember them?), TKO (y'know, the worlds first band to release a single on the internet or something) and Hepburn, who at least got to release an album.
Oh, we did have Oxide and Neutrino, but they only came as a favour because one of them used to go to my school. They swore at us and my drama teacher ended up escorting them from the premices. Anyway, they ended up in the dumper, same as the others. Hahaha.

I remember most of them. We never have anyone play at our school. Not even Spin City or Skandal! Remember Skandal were in that photo advert? The girl in the ad met them and had a picture taken then made it into a poster. Anyway our school is really pitiful for stuff like that but I guess the bands are all too lazy to come out into the countryside. It's such a rubbish place to grow up! On the plus side, we are surrounded by posh kids who have swimming pools and horses. My sister's friend had a limo party then went to cinema and a posh restaurant! Nothing on the swimming and a burger party that I had when I was 11! But that has absolutely nothing to do with this thread so I'd better shut up now.

We had :-
Damage
MN8
Gemini
and then some band were booked and cancelled because they aid they were too big for school tours, but in the end the debut single was never released and they were never heard of again, I can't even remember the name

We had the Dum Dums once. I didn't even get to see them though, it was just for those lucky Year 11s who were leaving.

We've only had our school band ( a few skateboarding social outcasts, a chinese girl with a dodgy name, a p.e teacher and a music teacher who is the spit of Adolf Hitler), and they completely slaughtered both Teenage Kicks and Wonderwall, so if anyone deserves to be thrown into the dumper, it would have to be them.
To be honest, talent-wise they'd be on par with the likes of Hepburn and the 21st Century Girls (!) so they must qualify. They've probably played to bigger audiences without being heckled off (almost) thats for sure.
I bet Telstar would sign them though. They signed Rosie Ribbons.

T'was not the dog now, was it Flum...
*struggles to get online intonation right and ends up sounding like he doesn't understand his own question*
Now your dog is a bit indie - I remember seeing him in HMV buying a Stereophonics album... but that was a few years ago and I believe he sold it at a car boot sale...
*sighs contentedly*
Ahhh, I love my fantasy iner worlds!...
That more often than not encroach on the outer world...

Nope, I can say with some authority that I my dog has never bought a Stereophonics album in his life, and he may bite you, such is the slur upon the cur. |
