About me: Though a few attempts have been made to put out recordings they all went tits-up but for the split with Undereducated.
In 2006 we managed the Fucking Jossticks cdr.
In 2007 we brought you Bearsuit, Falling & Laughing, The Icicles, MJ Hibbett and The Validators, and Winston Echo.
This is a good thing.
The Catalogue of pop music available through G&P is here, happy popping!
PS
there's a new 1page non-music related zine. it's free.
Who I'd like to meet: pop bands and pop people. who like pop music. especially people who actually do things eg. zines, labels, bands, craft, badges, comics, inner net kraziness. anything fun.
Hello-lo! It was lovely meeting you on Thursday, we had a super fun time playing and being noisy and stuff. Thanks for the zines, they (if I'm honest I only read one of them as I was pretty sure they were all the same) made excellent bed time reading. It was lovely hearing about what you enjoyed in '08. The Deirdres would have been in my top nine also but maybe a bit higher than number six maybe. Every track they released was full of win. It certainly made me look up humousexual. We have a song that we are trying to write at the moment called 'Post Hummus'. At the moment it's just a chant that goes "eatin' no meat is no mean feat, right!". Then it's going to go "eatin' no WHEAT is no mean feat, right" because Emma our singer is allergic to wheat. There will probably be hand claps in it probably when we finish it.
