The band echobelly is no more but me and Sonya are starting something new. We’ve written about twenty songs that we’re very excited about so maybe we can do something in the future when we’ve sorted things out."<BR/><BR/>Saw Echobelly live once, supported by Le Hammond Inferno (well they did a great DJ set rather than a support set as such), and I got very drunk but not drunk enough to ruin my evening.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509474726586902315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-53745932618288947632008-08-16T13:17:00.000+00:002008-08-16T13:17:00.000+00:00@rafflesWasn't a weekend about all Menswear manage...@raffles<BR/>Wasn't a weekend about all Menswear managed to begin with?<BR/><BR/>Now... a Lush weekend, since you mention it... hmm...Simon Hayes Budgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084524317888577404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-26957311674016912112008-08-16T12:06:00.000+00:002008-08-16T12:06:00.000+00:00Please leave the scurge of music that was Britpop ...Please leave the scurge of music that was Britpop alone.

Hadn't heard of Rialto for years, then this morning I was trying to compose a list of Bands With Two Drummers*, and they were the first one I thought of. One hour later, they pop up here! I fully expect to bump into Louis himself in town later.<BR/><BR/>Echobelly were great - 'I Can't Imagine...' was one of the first proper singles I bought (does anyone else have a kind-of Year Zero in their music collection where they stopped buying, for example, Right Said Fred, and started hunting out stuff they'd heard on the Evening Session?). And when all the best bands were coming from Manchester, London and Sheffield, I took heart from the fact that Echobelly were the closest I had to a local band, what with Debbie reportedly coming from 20 miles down the road in Bedford.<BR/><BR/>On was indeed a fine album, especially 'King of the Kerb'. I used to live with a chap who got quite angry with 'Great Things' because 'None of the words rhyme'. Must admit, while there are worse things in the world to get angry about, he was kind-of factually correct. <BR/><BR/>*If anyone can think of some more, do say so. So far I've got Rialto, Apollo 440 and the Go!

Bennet have the honour of being the loudest band I ever saw, ear splittingly loud, Metallica and Slayer, who both I have unfortunately seen claim to be louder than everyone else, they dont even come close to Bennet. As for Echobelly, I was at the train station before they played a note.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
