Fridayz Angelz

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.

<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.

Some info about Pig fish can be found Here although a little out of date.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.

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?

Keith was also in the band. I know Russ was in touch with him recently as he lives down London now.

Not at Uni anymore (went to Cov Uni) I work in the IT Learning Centre at either the Butts or Tile Hill sites

Hey Glamster
Don't s'poze ya still have that Mental Steam Train demo? My mate Iain is after a copy. He don't have a copy and he played on it!

Glamster
Did ya check out the Pigfish site?

Hi Glamster (Ian?)
Any Joy with that Mental Steam Train demo? Id Ya find it?

Andy

Sorry its been a while since i answered. Thought I still had my copy of the Mental Steam Train demo - currently its gone walkabout. Will have another check through my demo's. It might have got stored with some non rock stuff i've got. Will check for ya and let you know.

My other thought is that it was on the same tape that i lent to a mate of mine (along with the first Sticky Sweet demo) Then I lost touch with him.

Yea i did check out the pigfish site briefly. Need to have a better look when Ive got more time.

Dog Days... iz this the band that did the song `Broke In Hollywood` you're talking about? I loved that song.

Yep!

Yeah, the Dog Days album's pretty good. Probably one of my fave purchases this year. Props to Carl for posting their link, way back.

Hello all I am back again, after Friday 13th messed up my login, I have had to register again to get back on here! [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] [img]frown.gif[/img]

Dog Days Check out the site HERE

Yeah, I exchanged a couple of emails with them about 6 months ago, and they were gonna try to get over to the UK in the summer. I think the trip got shelved after management changes. They were gonna try and organize something in July but I didn't hear any more about it.

Hopefully Dog Days will be back with more material and shows soon.
