Punk / metal bands from Sheff between 1986 - 1996


Recommended Posts

There was a Sheffield rock/metal band called NIGHTRUN circa 85/86....they played a band competition gig at the City Hall in 86 and came 2nd.....anyone know what happened to them?

 

Three of the members joined up with Pete Willis - 2 of them,Richard Day and Pete Halliday, eventually formed a band called Roadhouse - Who signed to Polygram - Released a self titled LP/CD in 1991

Just one week to go till the Nihilistics 19th anniversary reunion gig at The Grapes - featuring Pete fcs, Paul of SLBC/Media Premonition and Tim - AKA Techno Ken etc.

 

Just £3 on the door.

 

Will play old tracks by lots of old Sheffield bands between bands.

 

Latest news - Dog Canute are going to play this night as well - anyone who liked Midnight Choir will enjoy them.

 

Thanks to anyone who reads this thread who came the gig. Anyone who didn't come - you missed a great night out. Dog Canute were superb. Nihilistics, well, we were just like we were 19 years ago. Maybe a bit more disciplined, and technically better. We got people dancing though, which is a first.

 

We might do another next year.

I used to work with Richard Day at the Virgin Megastore.

 

There now - more useless information on the Interweb.
