Never heard of them...but I am a rabid Eddie Cochran fan!!!
Anyone know of this Band or have anything by them? Came across this band tonight while going through some old 7" singles. Transfered them to MP3. Only have 4-tracks by them. They released an album called 6 Yards of cow which one of the tracks is from. Would love to hear the album and any other stuff they may of done.
Mark Laff from Generation X was the drummer from the band. I think Theyre a London Band and were around during the late 80's.
Did a search on the net and found that they maybe a few recordings out there.
They went on to form a band called Speedtwinn which I found some MP3z for. Yet to listen to em.
Have a a feelin I saw The babysitters support the band... but my mermory eludes me on that a little!!??!?!

Derwood from Generation X was in there, and he is now in an alt-country band.
Funny thing, TFR grew out of Empire, the HM band formed by the more or less exiled half of Generation X. I would now call them the grandaddies of psychobilly.

Carl, I think you may like these..Speedtwinn, There some info and stuff there to download.
I have heard of them, but never heard them. There is a ton of stuff out there I should have heard, but my being located in the US has really hurt my abilities to have heard the bands I would love. Back in the day especially, if you didn't have poofy hair, wear spandex, and start every song with a "WOO!" like some retarded Cub fan (local joke...sorry) you got no radio airplay or distribution. The people on here I would expect to be chiming on on this band (if you think I should have) would be Andii, possibly Stacey, but especially Ian (Glamster7).
Not heard any of this stuff. I'd be championing the retard Cub-spandex wearing WOO! band, lol.
Ian is from my Home town!!
Oh, but you've always seemed to have been very keen to the cool bands also. More than once you have chimed in about one of the RnR style bands from your neck of the woods, and have always shown a VERY wide open appreciation for all the styles within our "Glam world", unlike certain closed-minded bastards such as myself.

Edit:
And that Speedtwinn band is REALLY cool. Not so sure about the "Alt-Country" tag they give themselves, as they do have a bit more of the Rockabilly thing going than the pure Country. But I guess really, in some ways, Alt-Country can end up being a bit of a modern Rockabilly depending on the cross breeding you do with your Country.

Carl, "alt-country" is a broad term which includes the neo-rockabillies. John Doe, ex-X, is part of it, and he does that neo-billy sound as well. That's where a lot of the "punks" ended up, in some sort of neo-country.
Derwood...alt.country...lol...
