April 10, 200619 yr I remember seeing James at the International.Not my thing but the place was packet with crumpet. James Who?
April 10, 200619 yr James Who? the band 'James'. biggest hit was 'sit down'. "ohh sit down, ohh sit down, ohh sit down, sit down next to me"
April 10, 200619 yr The Farm - perfect mancunian riffs The Smiths - good mope music. Morrissey is something you grow out of but Marr keeps bringing you back again and again forever. Happy Mondays - Bez is the best dancer ever Stone Roses - best band ever. FULL STOP! Soup Dragons - one hit wonder but classic club hit Billy Bragg is brilliant but different genre. Spent 2 hours with him in '91 discussing the fall of the USSR. Oasis is brilliant. Every band wants Liam's voice and Noel's talent. If this is your start go back another 7-8 years and I'm sure you'll hear more of what you like. Charlatans are gods Blur vs. Oasis. hmm Blur Supergrass is the best live show I've seen Electronic - how can Bernard and Marr go wrong together? Manic Street was beyond their peers Jesus Jones was a one hit wonder good dancing song Pixies are great but wrong genre Peter Murphy is as big an icon as can be but not an indie club hit maker WOW Ani Difranco - pure crap unless you're a donut bumper. The other bands mentioned by Thaibebop are good but fall into indie alternative not Manchester indie. Radio Head would be ok here as would a few Sonic Youth songs. Pop will eat itself had a few club masterpieces Neds Atomic Dustbin is worth another listen if you haven't in 14 years. They were better than i remembered at the time. Ride is often overlooked but they were brilliant and perfect Lush was a perfect name for those coke snorting girls. They had some wicked songs. Northside is one of my favorites to play at the club. Take 5 is brilliant What about Chapterhouse, 808 State, Blue Aeroplanes, Kitchens of Distinction, candy skins, carter the unstoppable sex machine, curve, Housemartins, jesus and mary chain, Kula Shaker, Primal Scream, Pulp, Suede. remember That Petrol Emotion? Five Thirty? Ultra Vivid Scene. Not bad for an American huh? So the question is are there enough 24 hour party people to support a Madchester night in BKK? This page is a fun read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madchester
