This is part of where Mohair Sweets is coming from, 5 editions of the print fanzine starting in 1997 which finally lead to the website ('99-2007 - RIP) and now Blogspot at: http:www.mohairsweets.blogspot.com
And of course we can't forget another big part of how and why Mohair Sweets came to be... Yes, it's the Gorillas!
And of course Jesse's great work with Jesse Hector and The Sound!
Many thanks to Tony Bailey for diggin' these out of his vaults!
And watch for this great documentary on Jesse comin' sometime soon to a shop near you!
Thanks for the add! Feel right at home amongst your myspace friends! See you already have my old band (Long Tall Shorty) and good old Tony Morrison, as well as fellow muckers Ian Page and the great Dave Cairns from New Hearts/Secret Affair. The above being some of the few things I miss from the UK apart from Fullers beer and my motorcycle licence!
Your right about Cochrane by the way! Lovely little town,but the whole Mod/Suedehead thing is kinda wasted here! Anyone want a drummer by the way! I want to play!
Be afraid, be very afraid. It's the return of Thee Strawberry!!!
