Not sure, being a 58yr old bloke, I should be admitting this, but I've been listening to random selection of Alt Blk Era via spotify streamed to my Land Rover. I do enjoy all sorts of music particularly what I like to call classic heavy metal and actual classical, but this stuff is really good. A lot of the tracks appear to be from an album called Rave Immortal, and I'm particularly taken by 'My drummers Girlfriend' and 'come fight me for it'.
I saw them on Jools Holland and immediately ordered the CD. It's not a classic but is fun in small doses.
poshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNmcF6eRE7w ..your comment intrigued me, to the point that i (think i ) know now. I've related on here somewhere how much i still regret staying upstairs in the bar and missing most of the opening act for The Tubes (Squeeze) all because of my initial reaction to "Cool for Cats". In my defence, i was a lot younger then, and made many rash decisions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertain_Smile
Johnny Marr spent more time as a member of The The than he did The Smiths. If you ever have the chance to see Squeeze play live it is well worth the effort IMO. I believe they are touring this year a little. The same is true of The The. Have a Smiths track
I won't now N, hard to explain quite why. big respect for Difford/Tilbrook/Jools, i think we have talked about this on here before? - if you could put me in a Time-Machine to when they had just come on the scene, then yes. I did actually see them don't forget? - just not the whole act.
