-hudsen
-borderline
-the five darrans
-DISCO (!)

-8.4%
-subway
-60ft dolls
-the five darrans
-that band with all the staff from speed music in it
-in the shit
-cowboy killers
-dub war

[Gazza]

What was John the Driver's band's name Sam? Or have they been mentioned, think they had a track chosen for the film Interview with a vampire or something.

Skindred (were they pre-2000)
Chang

[daninski]

skindred came from dub war, so when ever they split up plus some...

[Gazza]

Fair play, have you been reading the old flyers on the TJ's walls to dig that lot out
Can add 1 more to the mixing pot - Naked Ape (dont think they were around for very long though)

[daninski]

cubare?

[sam]

vada was gavin from terris and a load of the malpas boys, i still have the demo somewhere.

[Mr.Slips]

Naked Ape! That was one I knew was floating round my head somewhere! I think that was the new name for Sweater... or vice versa.

[sam]

it was the new name for sweater, and john the driver was in them

[Gazza]

Yeh, Robby K reminded me the other night but we could'nt remember their new name(Sweater), nice to have that rectified, been bugging my head for a couple of days.

[Mr.Slips]

John the Driver (although I didn't realise he was called that) was also in Armstrong with me (and Julian and Carpy). Little guy yeah? Joined Strawberry Blondes for a bit too afterwards.

[Gazza]

Yeh John was a little guy with (bleached, i think) blonde hair, did'nt know he was in Strawberry Blondes though (learn something new everyday). Disco gave him the adopted name of John the Driver because he used to ship them around to their gigs in "the honk if you bonk" trannys/minibuses.

[jamma]

sb24..clarky, gary pugh, russell whittington and the drummer from the hang ups (rick)
did i say disco?!

this thread is pure 90's gold. tim, i'm not sure if you noticed but they painted over the walls in the practice room..all that ex disgraceland 1990's grafitti gone forever..oh, and i didn't forget about trip, i just didnt consider us good enough!

[Mr.Slips]

Yeah I noticed the walls. Looks mint. Also noticed a big blob of white paint on my kick drum case!

Shame about the graffiti. I think my name was up there even from back in the day. Something along the lines of "Jester are shit, Tim Day's alright though"!
Straight up!

[Mr.Slips]

Oh btw, why did you want a list of 90's zoo bands? Are you going for the role of 'executive producer' for a nostalgia compilation??
