OKAY, SO THE SECOND TIME IS FARCE... WHAT ARE THIRD AND FOURTH?: Like a slightly paunchy grandfather returning to prizefighting, Tony Wilson has resurrected Factory records for a fourth time. (Yes, fourth - there was the one that got flogged to London when it ran out of cash, Factory Too... we're buggered if we know what the other one was). It looks like it's going to be downloads only, perhaps at first, which suggests this more a labour of love than a well-resourced outfit. Still, you can't help but admire Wilson for talents at getting right up, dusting right down, and starting all over again.
Northside are rumoured to be mulling putting together a demo tape.
Wilson also had a label called Factory Once. It came after Factory Too, although I'm guessing that it didn't last too long.
ReplyDeleteDermo from out of Northside has a new band called Silent Partners that end up advertised by someone called Wozzy D over almost every music forum i ever see. Shall we take a trip to see them?
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else have the pleasure of catching the unlikely pairing of Northside and The Pale Saints when the pair shared a baggy/shoey crossover tour?
ReplyDeleteYou wonder what the conversation backstage would have been like...
