Another Derby fella here, saw them first supporting Salad (Jesus - I was 15 and didn't know any better) at the Wherehouse and they were so loud peoples' ears were bleeding. That was all I needed, saw all their Derby gigs from that point, as well as travelling to gigs elsewhere whenever possible, and bought everything they released. My name was in the credits for DLTUT and WAA (after I wrote some embarrasingly enthusiastic reviews for fanzines and the local paper) which still makes me so proud to this day, even if it was undeserved as I was just a fawning fan really.
I have three favourite bands - Pixies, Fugazi and Cable. All other bands are dogshite.
