The Soup Dragons were one of the inspirations for this series . They would have featured here much earlier if they hadn't featured a few weeks before the series was launched.
Better late than never plus it is sometimes sensible to keep your powder dry and to save some of the big hitters on the back burner. Was
That post was raving about their Past Night From Glasgow compilation Raw Products -Singles & Rarities.
I shared three songs from that album but panic not as there are plenty more tunes to choose from.
They take the number of bands featured up to 8 with one more scheduled .I would love to get to 1o so any suggestions welcomed.
I've ruled out The Pastels, the Vaselines and anything featuring Eugene Kelly on the grounds of geography as they appear to have originated from Glasgow. I would be delighted if anyone can tell me differently
I've checked musicians born in Bellshill Maternity and so far have come up with Sheena Easton and Sharleen Spiteri!
Soup Dragons - Just Mind Your Step Girl
Soup Dragons - Slow Things Down
Sheena please
ReplyDeleteApologies that I've not visited for a while - combination of having to spend a stupid amount of time preparing and writing up the current series on TVV and having a couple of holidays where I just took time off.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned Joe McAlinden a couple of times in previous posts. He is very much a Bellshill boy, and so you could feature his own band, Linden who released two albums back in 2012 and 2015 (the former being on AED Record, the label owned and run by Edwyn Collins).
I think you could also include Superstar - another band fronted by Joe and which included Jim McCulloch among their number. 1998 album 'Palm Tree' was reissued a while back by Past Night From Glasgow.
Primary 5 are another possibility. Founded by Paul Quinn (former drummer with TFC) and another in which Jim McCulloch was involved. They released albums in the 00's
