Sesh or Ozzy?

Does it make you think about tampons ??

No. But your attempts of being funny make me think about tampons. Used ones.

Never ran into Del Amitri, not my taste.

Surprisingly few hard rock bands have been successful out of Glasgow considering.

Someone wrote a book about it recently and my band got a few paragraphs so that shows you the paucity...

Nazareth, Gun, The Almighty, Texas, Alex Harvey, Simple Minds and then I'm starting to struggle. Do Franz Ferdinand count

The local Indie bands seem to have done better over the years.

Er, Heavy Pettin' ...

Oh, Lord - don't tell me that was your band, Sesh!? I saw them opening for somebody - probably Ozzy.

In the 70s Stone the Crows / Maggie Bell were signed to Zeppelin's Swan Song label, but I never rated them.

Ah forgot about Heavy Pettin' they were great.

I knew some of those guys and had a bit of a mad drinking night with one of them back in the day. I'm a little younger.

I think in hindsight their singer held them back a bit, his voice was a little bit annoying. They did a couple of big support tours in the US one with RATT I think.

heavy pettin' ??

[Seshmeister]

You had to be there.

[VHscraps]

Yeah, and then there was the Eurovision fiasco ...

Back in the mid-80s I used to drink in a bar on Bath St that was below street level - every Sunday night they had some guy playing rawk records. Can't remember the name of the bar ... just looked up google maps street view. Seems to now be an orange fronted shop called 'Retrospect'.

You ever frequent that place, Sesh? This was before the Solid and the Cathouse etc.

We played somewhere called Maggie Mays :-/ possibly . Something like that . Weird trendy ish up stairs rock bar downstairs .

Named after a UFO album - bad name, I know ... Sesh was probably in a band with a more conventional moniker, like "Glasgow" ... (presumably named after Boston - which takes us right back to Glasgow looking a bit like Boston±)

was that recently? I think there's a rock bar by that name near the Trongate - I've been living in England for years, so it's all becoming a bit blurry.

[vandeleur]

it will be at least 5 years ago I think , these shitty gigs blur into one another . A deserted bar in camden is the same as a deserted bar in licoln by the end lol

[envy_me]

Yep. Not unlike the Rembrandts, with gems like Just The Way It Is Baby and that annoying song from Friends.
How background reaches the foreground every now and then, I'll never know.

I think all those can go under the category pop. Pop is really an umbrella category where you can find anything from Beatles to more shitty stuff.

I HATE that friends song by the way. When I was in my teens my favorite song was Friends which made ALL my friends ask me "the one from the show??" NO you moron, Joe Satch Friends! HUGE difference. Always made me annoyed.

It's still there.

The guitarist of Glasgow got convicted of killing someone recently - sad story.

This sounds spinal tapish , but it's kinda coming back to me a bit .
Not sure if you were gigging then or if you were involved in sorting band gigs out Etc .
But am sure one of the gigs was promoted by an English man called lefty and I swear to fuck he had one eye .
Not sure why that would stick in my mind lol .

I thought since you fags aren't responsible enough to own guns, you didn't have violent crime there?

Maybe they should ban cars too.
