Some info about Pig fish can be found Here although a little out of date. Not sure if they are still together or not. Haven't seen the guitarist Russ for ages.
<font size="3" face="Arial">My discussions of my own experiences in bands seemed to be taking over the Wrathchild chat, so I have continued it here instead.Fridayz Angelz stuff was our own. Two of the guys bassist and guitarist, from Fridayz Angelz went on to join Brooklyn Dogs from Brum and then the Guitarist went on to join Raggity Ann from Nuneaton, and then went on to the present day to front his own band Pigfish.
The Bassist that was in the Final Line-up of Fridayz Angelz got head hunted and went off to join Stevie Jaimz Project, St Jaimz after Jaimz got the sack from Tigertailz. The bassist Chiggy didn't last long though. A few gigs at most.
I went on to form The Gutter Cats after a short break. Guttercats was some of our own songs and a cover of the Beard Song (Babysitters) and Poison's Every Rose..
Gutter Cats were never really a Glam band although we covered some of glam type tunes.More for fun like the Babysitters. We dressed colurful but that was about as glam as we got. As I said started as an Acoustic project which formed into a band over time.
We threw in a couple of Stray cat tunes and used to Punk up a few songs I.E. Walking on Sunshine and Shampoo's Trouble.

A little info on Brooklyn Dogs can be found here. Brooklyn Dogs supported The Dogs D'Amour on a couple of occasions and also Wrathchild at the Marquee which I believe may of been Wrathchild's final gig! (Unless someone knows different)

A band you would find in competition with the Brooklyn Dogs around tis time in Birmingham were Gunfire Dance.
Saw Gunfire Dance at thh Astoria and Marquee. I think one or both of those shows was supporting Tigertailz. I never really rated Gunfire Dance for some reason. couldn't get into them from their live performances.
I saw Wrathchild at the Hippodrome on a Wednesday night. Dunno if that was before or after the Marquee show, but it was in support of 'The Biz Suxx' album, complete with confetti cannons and all kinda shit, lol.
Wednesday nights at the Hippodrome, that brings back memories! Saw Lisa Dominique there too! Any old Londoners go to Busby's under the Astoria back in the day, when Hippodrome stopped the rock night? One of my mates pulled a podium dancer, lucky bugger!
A friend of mine Russ (think his surname was Frame) used to play guitar in the Brooklyn Dogs. They released a 12" single if I remember rightly.
Saw Gunfire Dance loads of times both in Brum and London. Think I have an ep by them as well
Glamster, Your right it was Russ Frame in the Dogs
Hey Glamster
Seen Russ's dad Saturday night and Pigfish are still together, it's just been a while since the site was updated.
Used to have a demo by a band Russ was in called Mental Steam Train. A guy i used to drink with down the Dive - Mouse (think his name was Ian as well) was on vocals. Have to go look and see if I still have it.
Yeah my mate Iain Cummings used to be in the band with Russ and also Andy Rodgers. I know of Mouse. Saw a picture of the band recently that was found fro m years ago.
Which Uni do ya work at?
