The Peoples Friend
The Dublin Castle, NW1 7AN , [Venue Details]The Peoples’ Friend- Played around 60 gigs in the late 90s, almost all in London. Appearing at then The Dublin Castle many times They had a beautiful gang of fans, and now they’re back and we can’t wait.
The more interesting side of Indie rock at the time, melding psychedelic rock with punk and touches of Prog, an eclectic and compelling mix, there’s shades of Cardiacs here, in fact Tim Smith was a fan who ended up engineering the band. The songs were written by Steffan Kay and the lyrics by Jamie Kelsey. The original line up had Jay ‘manoray’ Starkey on drums, Lewis ‘dark lord’ Perry on guitar and Kirsty ‘dragon’ Newton on bass and vocals. After Kirsty left, Jamie Carol joined them on bass and Cara Vella on violin and vocals.
Stone Cold Sweethearts– ‘I Am The Devil’! – not half- pop eyed punk rifferama (tho they say Britpop inspired) with a good Lincolnshire twang in the strident vocal, sort of reminiscent of recent work by Big Special vocally but these guys are trad guitar bass drums and kick plenty butt.
The Mooches– Sprightly hook-laden indie pop with a nod to new wave and power pop,up-beat catchy tunes, great stuff
