Sounds Like

The Joyriders = take a bit of Bob Mould, add Cheap Trick pop sensibilities and you might just be halfway there. Add a ton of lager and pot and you're right on the button. Probably.

A bunch of videos from back in the day if you fancy seeing them. Don't blame us if you have nightmares

About Joyriders

..

KAI DAVIDSON - THE KING OF ROCK IN FULL FLIGHT
Sadly missed by all who knew him

THE JOYRIDERS = 2 EP's released - both were NME singles of the week - 100% success rate. Nice one.

Played live shows supporting the likes of Mega City 4, Lemonheads, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Bleach, Swervedriver, Doughboys, All, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Leatherface, Die Cheerleader, Mercury Rev, 11th Dream Day, Captain America, Kinky Machine and a ton of other folk.

Then snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the band split up - well they would have if they could have been bothered.

They just stopped showing up.

Murd0ch	May 29 2007 11:37 AM sooooo. Free Spirit Studios thinks we're still a band. They should fuck off and find something better to do with their time than send stoopid messages to bands that don't exist.
Murd0ch	Mar 7 2007 3:25 PM Dunsy, how do I get tunes up on my myspace? I'm going to post some jetmarine songs, if that's okay.
Pete	Feb 1 2007 9:56 PM Dunsy, are you going to the wiz tribute gig in Landan on the 4th march? Im still trying to see if i can afford it.
Pete	Jan 3 2007 3:46 PM Happy Nu Beer Mr Dunsmore. Hope santa was good to you...He didnt bring me the Les Paul i asked for. Kunt.

Murd0ch	Sep 22 2006 1:40 PM check out the cateran myspace page. Dunno who's responsible for it, but the blurb's nailed us perfectly.
Drive	Sep 13 2006 7:55 PM Sorry for the delay, I've had family over but here's a link to some piccies of Saturday night. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/a.bif.t21@btinternet.com/album?.dir=/ec39re2&.src=ph Saw your comment on 1984 Murdo & yes we did enjoy it as much as you did...cracking night. Looks like our Japanese tour could be a goer.
Stevie	Sep 10 2006 6:19 PM Superb show guys! Worth the wait. Cheers again for they discs Dunsy, really appreciate it!
Drive	Sep 10 2006 6:03 PM Top night fellas! Will sort the piccies soonest. Sorry I didn't make it to Dunsys. Knowing when I've had enough to drink is a worrying new departure for me, best nip that in the bud right now.
Pete	Sep 3 2006 2:51 PM Hows rehearsals going mr D? See ye Saturday!
Drive	Aug 21 2006 9:04 PM Well our reunion is done & it were quite a larf especially in Liverpool. Think we were finally hitting our stride by the time we got there...in retrospect perhaps 7 hours practice in 15 years wasn't quite enough before the first show! Looking forward to your bash & perhaps sampling some of your fine Scottish booze.
Lousy Bassist	Jul 17 2006 1:04 PM Don't know about a cover version, but I hope you'll be playing Always.
Junkster	Jul 14 2006 5:09 PM
bylxi	Jul 11 2006 8:11 PM Herr Dunsmore Gig central - eh, Bannermans - won't know what's hit it! Rock on! Better get some Goliath the spookster
Drive	Jul 10 2006 7:38 PM It's gotta be 'Blackwind, Fire & Steel' by Manowar surely. By the way did you ever sort out that old strings dilemma...mine are 15 years old, is it time to replace them or as I suspect is there another coupla years left in 'em yet? Actually I do remember you guys doing a blinding 'Word Up' when Murdo broke a string that night in Perth.
Murd0ch	Jul 3 2006 11:49 AM We had a practice last week. It was pure dead brilliant, as they say in Glasgow. Any good ideas for a cover version to play as our official last-ever song?
Murd0ch	May 31 2006 10:12 AM "Ache" never came out on cd, but Dunsy's a hell of a man for producing authentic lookin' cd facsimile's of old records. Get him to do it for ya. Hassle him about it at the gig in Sept. No Cateran page. Too much bad blood under the bridge for us to agree on that sort of thing. Murdo.
Gogs	May 31 2006 9:09 AM Great news about the reunion gig, got crackin memories of Perth, the Venue, Basin street and others!Gonna dig out my 'Cooler than Shaggin' t-shirt, haha! Re the Cateran.....did 'Ache' ever come out on CD cos my vinyl version is unplayable with wear(also, don't have a record player anymore) and am desperate to listen to it again?
farmyard records	May 30 2006 2:51 PM welcome to another week at the farmyard. please come have a listen to some great songs. dont forget june 11th is drop in the ocean. farmyard are at cookie club showcasing some of the finest "indie " talent around. check our blog for a lineup. £8 gets you a wristband for the whole festival, thanks again fyr
Drive	May 26 2006 6:15 PM Following your fine example we are now reunioning too! Unfortunately we can only gig in August otherwise we could have finally had that play off final. A BanROCKburn if you will (?)
craig	May 22 2006 9:12 PM Thanks for the add, guys.
Stevie	May 13 2006 2:03 PM Wouldnae miss it for the world Dunsy!!
