death trades Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 LOL...I forgot to mention.. when i left systematic annexe, i auditioned for HULA... I went to Nort's place up Abbeydale Road and jammed with the band in Nort's basement... they then gave me all their red Rhino label EP's to learn the bass lines... i chickened out, cos Nort had loads of polaroids in his house sporting erections/ loads of bowls with cat food and loads of bedside clocks all stuck at 2 o' clock... my mum drove me down to leave the ep's on his doorstep saying i had joined another band.... 6 months later, i read the NME to discover that HULA supported Depeche Mode and even played Wembley...AAAAAGGGGGHHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 by the way i always remember shaun and kev (i think) used to walk round dressed as adam and the ants in the real early eighties, did you too? i know its a bit of an embarrassing question, sorry on the sleeve of the demo it says copyright 1984/1985 ive always believed anathema was 1984 and systematic annex was 1985 correct? obviously youll only know when you guys recorded yours 1985 wouldve been the year i left school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 lol ive got so many questions about systematic, sorry dude just a band ive always loved but dont know anything about, even tho i knew members of (mainly cos i was a bit young, you guys were a few years older than me) could you type out the list of songs and put which songs you actually played on and which you know the others were on? ill try and compile as much info about systematic and make a webpage if thats ok?

death trades Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 LOL, really? I joined them in 84, so I only knew kev and shaun with mohawks...they had an interview in the sheffield star music section and they said they were looking for a bass player. i rang kev and he got mick to come and pick me up in the community centre van, me living all the way out in burncross...i wsh i had mor recordings and photos ...i imagine kev has loads. shaun went onto join a psychobilly band that had a huge following, but none of us are playing in bands. when i get together with mark, we end up jamming to RHCP, pearl jam, STP, soundgarden etc...BUT NOT ADAM AND THE ANTS LOL...

Terry_Latic Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 LOL which leads us nicely onto media premonition i have a demo tape of them that nort co produced which ive ripped, not sure im supposed to share that tho tbh As a former member of Media Premonition - I'm about 100% certain nobody would mind. Also - I read an earlier post about Feral - I did that gid at the Hallamshire as the drummer (the bass pedal broke half way through, which buggered me a bit as I couldn't really play drums in the first place). I remember the plague dogs were in the audience. The singer was Simone. I didn't last long with them. Also - The Nihilistics just had a weekend get together to practice for the reunion gig at the Grapes on 13 Sept. Will be a good night for all Sheffield 80s band nostalgics - we'll have plenty of local old stuff on in between bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
