Awright then. I played in an Aussie indie-guitar band that were often compared to Teenage Fanclub/Lemonheads over 10 years ago. We played interstate a few times, got signed to a Creation-wannabe local indie that traded in the UK/US and subsequently got signed to a now defunct Atlantic subsidiary and played CMJ or whatever it was called in NYC and some gigs in London where it was expected for us to be hated because we were Australian. Subsequently other band members were embraced by a Smiths-loving twee-positive cult, and I subsequently quit the band. The band subsequently parted ways with the indie, got embraced by a local-major who moulded them into a sub-Menswear/Gene clone that ultimately died a quick horrible death.
Now I am frustrated and bitter and have become a InterNerd dissenser!

I played keyboards on a couple of tracks recorded by a singer who used to be in an 80s Manchester guitar band that nearly went on tour with Swing Out Sister, but didnt. The tracks were put out as a single by a German record label. It may have sold in double figures (I don't know, my royalties never arrived).
That trumps everyone, surely?

This is all saying THE EARTHMEN to me loud and clear but I could well be wrong. (It's the 'Creation wannabe' that makes me think of JR's Summershine label.)

Hehe...this reminds me of a story Sasha Frere-Jones revealed to an audience during the New Yorker College Tour. He scored his first journal piece when someone from the Village Voice overheard a debate between him and Simon Reynolds over whether his band at the time, Ui was considered post-rock. Next thing you know, she asked him to write something for them, or some other reputable journal.Nick Gutterbreakz said:who gives a shit anyway? I wanna talk about them, not to them.
If Mr. Reynolds is reading this, can he confirm?
Yeah... Lars Ullrich from Metallica dropped by the other night... and was promptly bounced for inapropriate behaviour... nice to see the boys on the door don't make special allowances for vips
seriously... nice work mod squad... that was a very strange 20 minutes of dissensus browsing.
