Hey there kittens. 'Tis your old mate Flash Tightpocket, bringing you lucky viewers a bit of a newsflash.
What I'm trying to say is 'STOP PRESS' 'HOLD THE FRONT PAGE; & other such expletives.
Does anybody remember this?....
Or this?......
Or even this?......
Please see my previous post at http://flashtightpocket.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Junior%20Manson%20Slags
You see after years of searching, never seen before video evidence of this outstanding rock'n'roll behemoth has finally seen the light of day.
Trust me on this one my dears, for your genial host this is like finding the holy grail, or the dead sea scrolls.
For on these grainy old, sometimes difficult to see films, lurks some idea of the wild chaotic abandon that was 'The Junior Manson Slags' live experience.
HOUNDS OF ELECTRIC FILTH 1986ish
THE WAY YOU TOUCHED MY HAND
LIVE AT THE FULHAM GREYHOUND 1987
It was after a recent chance meeting with the still, visually stunning 'Aqua Marina', now known to the world as 'Michi Sinn' for it is she who can be found on these films, singing, gyrating, shaking & grooving (didn't they used to call it frugging?). Just check out those screams on 'hounds of electric filth', awesome! this is where I found out about her new project;
RIOT IN PARADISE.
Described in their own words as
TRANCEY,PUNKY,DUBBY,JAZZY,SPIKEY,DANCEY,DARKnSPARKY, AND STRANGELY DISTURBING POP TUNES FOR THE PARTIALLY DISTURBED. HEPKATS n KITTIES

So if you know what's good for you; get yourselves along. It promises to be quite a caper.
See you down the front!
i used to work with these guys - good mates of mine - at the Virgin Megastore in Oxford St (which is how the band came together... Karl worked in videos, Michelle was on checkouts I think, Finn worked there on and off, and his sister worked in the singles section. Plus Mick on drums worked in the shrinkwrap room)... great band, great times :)
ReplyDeleteHey that's a great piece of information, wonderful insight!
ReplyDeleteThey're definately one of the best bands I ever saw.
