Why?
When buzz bands roamed the earth, and when we had to see them… I think we’d seen them somewhere smaller before, and been blown away, but at a bigger show it came down to the fact that they only had a couple of really great tunes: Let the Cool Goddess Rust, and On This Tidal Wave of Young Blood. And the guy had a great voice.
I thought of them as being a bit like the Rapture – but they weren’t.
So we listened to that voice, hanging over the front of the balcony, with the glitter ball (a highlight of Koko) above us, talking coked up Friday night shit between (and over) those songs.
I remember catching a bit of Dr. Dog and being surprised in later years that they actually managed a career.
High?
Friday nights in the mid 00s…
Drinking?
Friday nights in the mid OOs…
Thinking?
How does the shine come off these bands so quickly?
