Late 80's - early 90's was quite good for bands around Burnley, Nelson and Colne. I always wanted to be in a band, but could not do anything musical :( .
So I occasionally took photographs/video or made projection loops for some of them.
A couple of years back I found out I was working with a member of a band I'd filmed at the mechanics - illegally lol - the trick is to look like your meant to be there. They were called "Beware the green monkey", and this lad was the drummer, unfortunatly you couldn't see him behind the drumkit, but he was pleased to see the footage.
There seemed to be a lot more places to play in those days, Keighly Green, Annabella's, Yorke House, Kestrel Suite, Hearts of oak in Colne...Bank hall miner's...
Once went out on a fly-posting mission with The Sulphate Family, (there was nowhere to legally post then either), I think we only got the board that was near the bus station because of a petition started by a local band - The Lynch I think - could be wrong though...so not much has changed, apart from less venues to play. :(
Good luck with your campaign Quazi. |
Ahh, those were the days, (am I sounding like granny here?) before the advent of the "Fun Pub" (spit!) and "kariokie" (gob!) and Burnley becoming a blues town. (cough, wretch!)
I remember the Sulphate Family. They were nuts, but compleatly brilliant!! Whatever happened to them guys?
The most insane fly posting mission I ever went on was with the drummer out of a punk band I was in called Clockwork Zombie.
This guy would run up behind a bus that was just pulling out of a bus stop and quickly paste a poster on the back of it while it was moving.
It was hillarious to watch him running down the street slapping wallpaper paste all over the place, then, when the bus had to stop for traffic, he ran straight into the back of it. He was covered in paste and they wouldn't let him into the pub afterwards for the obligitory "after mission pint!"
