Inevitable Groin

A 'Orsham super smashing marvellous group performing songs from the original sunny sessions of Easter 1987 augmented by contemporary compositions of 1990.

The line up contained members of Businessmen On Bicycles, The Gits (UK), The Jackalsons, Fixed Vision, Christine, Starfish, Voice Of The Rain and a number of other bands you haven't heard of either. 

Ein Beispiel gebe ich Ihnen 'Death On The Clyde' 

Update: I've now uploaded a version of Sally's Friends without the front chopped off. 

Or more accurately Billingshurst but I've enough bloody tags already.

Live at Dim Light Productions 'One Night At Collyers*' in 1985. If my memory serves me correctly this was played on a Roland Juno 6 & Korg MS20.

Update: My memory serves me poorly, is was in fact the Korg MS10.

And here are the very keyboards in question.

Piers has notably appeared since then on 'Richard & Judy' with Jim Bowen of 'Bullseye' fame and has more recently been offering advice on seduction for breakfast tv viewers. I'm not sure that breakfast is the best time for seducting.

*Collyers being a leading independent girls school in Steyning founded 1953.

 From the album 'No Way Out But Through'.

 Based on Hamlet with additional dialogue by R. Knowles.

 
I had some video of the moon through clouds so this happened. Lost a bit with the compression and loss of resolution on upload.

Unlike me not to have posted this video from February to every outpost I hold on the internet, there to languish in obscurity until webaggedon. So 'ere 'tis.

Puntastic! 

An edited version of 'Chip On The Floor' from Groid LVIIII (A State Of Mind) an album from 1986 that contemporary critics described as not so much hit and miss but miss and miss. It's fair to say that assessment has stood the test of time but prompted by the unearthing of a former bandspersonage Groid LVIIII (Your Place Or Mine) is now available in remastered form.

By remastered I don't mean having the life squashed out of it by over compression and brickwall limiting but more akin to desperately trying to get rid of the hiss and other artifacts from the cassette master. For Groid LVIIII (A Waste Of Time) was mainly recorded live to stereo or at most by accompanying basic playback of drum machine and bass before effects were added on the fly at the compilation stage.

Groid LVIIII (A Modern Spacious Design) features such classic hits from the pits as Bit O'Room, Horrible Spoon, Astonishing Shrubbery and Lonely Crocodile. Indeed the last of those was of such popularity that one young lady made a point of sleeping with all its authors. I didn't write Lonely Crocodile... 

Should you have lost leave of your senses Groid LVIIII (Where Are You Going With That Flounder?) can be perused and downloaded hereabouts: http://www.box.net/shared/fu89r4646dphri7115o3

Special thanks go to Jon E. Parker for stopping and, at no additional charge, re-starting the drum machine in the middle of 'Chip On The Floor'.

I bought the album of the same name in about '84 largely on account of the back coveryfrog.com/hsrtlep
