: : this is the best news i've heard in ages!!! shame about snow job. fingers crossed. : For those not yet in the know, the Sugarbomb song in question is called 'Liquid Cassanova'. If the singer sounds like a good Andy Sturmer mimic, well... that's because it *is* Andy Sturmer. The story goes something like this: : : Sugarbomb record first album (Tastes Like Sugar) : : New Record company does deal. : : Label likes song - Liquid Cassanova - but wants it re-arranged. : : Sugarbomb say 'fine, but only in Andy Sturmer does it.' : : Andy re-writes the song, and records it for them (presumably playing all the parts.) : : Band likes it, but decide not to put it on new album (Bully). : : Someone 'inadvertetly' leaves copy of song on hard drive while on Audiogalaxy (yeah, right...) : : That's it. : : : : : : I didn't find that Jellyfish had split until about eighteen months after the event, and then it was only in a poxy 100 word article on the letters page of a monthly magazine (Vox, I believe - showing my age here). Even then, and I'm not being melodramatic here, I kind of knew that it signaled the beginning of the end for my youth. Seriously. You lose soemthing you hold that dear, and, well, i don't know... Still, the Drag and Umajets turned up eventually... Hey, that article i read also said that Andy was going to record a solo album, to be released later that year. HA HA HA HA!!! : : : As for you BadApple - if something was going to happen I presume icky would know something about it. Nothing seems promising. Then again the Eric/Andy thing sounds a little positive, if not for the Drag, then at least for some form of related product. you never know... : : : Teenage Fanclub, Mike? I bet you're one of smug ones that actually owns 'a catholic education' and, hence, 'everything flows' - a masterful work if there ever was one. : : : You are a man of taste and distinction. : : : : : : Tom. : : : : : : P.S : : : Anyone heard of these 'Sugarbomb' guys? Some of their stuff is really excellent! Kind of 40% Jellyfish, 40% Imperial Drag, 15% any random skate-punk band you care to mention, and 5% faith no more. Yeah, that's right!!! They sound a bit like Queen! Check out 'ordinary man', 'what a drag' 'motor mouth' and, mysteriously, a song refered to in some parts of audiogalaxy as 'andy sturmer'. It's actually called 'liquid casanova', but one listen to the courus explains the title change. Sugarbomb's lead singer has got be the world's greatest mimic. check it out, you'll see what i mean. : : : "Heres to the Future". : : : : I was at Uni at the time of Imperial drag, still quite disapointed at the demise of Jellyfish, but hey I'd got other bands around (I'd fallen for Teenage Fanclub at that point). I watched, like many did in the UK at the time a prime time Friday night TV show "TFI Friday", the kind of show you watch before then heading to the pub for a few. Yes, Imperial Drag were the first band on, and did Boy or a Girl Live. They were excelltn, if a little short on time, they should've been able to play more in my opinion. I had no idea who they were at this point, except that they looked and sounded very cool. : : : : A few weeks later I was brousing my local record shop by Uni where I saw the ID album on a listening post. When I started to listen to it in the shop, I got that tingling feeling, and an all to familiar thought that this could be something special. I scoured the sleevenotes to see Rogers name! Yippee!, As I skipped through the intro's to the songs in the shop I was a very happy chappy! : : : : Boring I know, but I just thought I'd let you in on my introduction to the drag. I'm still waiting for more, so Icky, if you get a chance to get some more stuff out, please do. : : : : Oh, and that penis msg. I'm using a computer in a library, The woman behind the desk was not amused when the picture started to come up!!! I did chuckle. : : : : And Tom, you're a Gent. : : : : Mike
