It is indeed! I always forget it even exists though.
Left wasn't too bad either. Think I only saw them once before they broke up as well which was a shame as it was a rather good live performance.



never got to see them with jimmy, but did manage double figures in venues ranging from a pub in chichester back when type 2 error did the videos for them, to arena's supporting the manics in brighton & festivals in madrid (their 3rd last gig i think)


i just got to see them at one of the academy's in Manchester, then on the (maybe 2nd to) last tour at the Leadmill in Sheffield, finally at Leeds Festival which was their second to last gig. great band. Does anyone know what they are up to now?

First gig: The Electric Soft Parade @ Birmingham Academy 2, Nov 2003

First Album: Stereophonics- Performance and Cocktails. Think I bought it either 1999 or 2000, so I was about 11/12 at the time.

The first album I remember buying of my own accord (possibly, probably got some before) was The Great Escape by Blur in 1995, of course I didn't need to buy Meat Loaf / Queen as my Dad had 'em!

The first gig I went to that wasn't a Queen tribute band was Pulp at Trentham Gardens, 1998 aged 16, did a couple of V Festivals and David Bowie /Prince in 2002 but didn't really start going to gigs till I moved south in 2004.
