    The album is called "A bit of what you fancy" and is awsome!!!!
                                                         
    This band ranks in my fav top 5 at the moment. They aren't really 
    metal, more like old rock (lots of piano and slide guitar).
                         
    Strongly recomended !

    
    	Piano and slide guitar?  Sounds kinda like Blackfoot, or
    	at least someone from that genre, no?

    Sorry Shawn, I haven't heard any Blackfoot, but its kinda like
    old Rod Stewart but slightly more rock 'n roll, if that helps !
                                                   
    -Tone

Yep I've got the album, highly reccommended.

I'd agree with Tone, sorta Rockin Rod Stewart with slide Guitars. Good rocking
stuff with a bit of blues thrown in.

Have you heard anything over there yet ?

    	Umm.. FWIW, the actual name of the band is "The London
    	Quireboys" and I almost started a topic on them but I
    	remembered someone mentioning them.
    
    	Anyway, I caught the video for "It's 7 o'clock" (?) and
    	thought it was great!  The lead singer looks a bit like
    	Tracii Guns (?) and IMO, they sound like they've got a 
    	bit of Rod Stewart influence.
    
    	Better add this one to the list.  (8
    
    	Tigga~~~

They don't even have the word 'the' in front of their name (or a space in it)
as far as the album goes (I have it here in front of me) they are called:

	Quireboys.

(they used to be called the Queerboys, but that was thought a bit too dodgy)
Obviously in the US they are known as the London Quireboys (I don't know why).

What is on this demo ? 	7 O'Clock
			Hey You 
			Sex Party
			Mayfair ?

Brynn.

        The promo I have in my hot little hands right now is by "The
     London Quireboys".  (Yes, Quireboys is written as one word on the
     tape cover.)

        There are 5 men on the cover sitting in a large open area of
     what appears to be a church.  Stained glass windows in the
     background.  

     	The 4 songs on this tape from �Capitol Records are;
     	
        7 O Clock
     	I Don't Love You Anymore
     	Whippin' Boy
     	Hey You.

     	Seems to be that there is just one band.

    	"7:00" sounds alot like older Rod Stewart stuff, both in
    	vocals and overall sound of the music.
    
    	If you like that stuff, you'll like these guys.
    
    							GTI
    

        Exactly!  I thought it was Faces when I first hear it.

        I listened to the 4 song demo and wasn't terribly impressed with
     it.  It really sounded too much like Rod Stewart for me.  Not a
     tape that I'd go out and buy.

        Vicki

    
    
    This morning I finally put the song with the name.  YUCK!!!!  No
    talent!!  ( Maybe that's a little strong )  But, I'm just getting sick
    of bands that have no originality, they sound like they were just
    thrown together in a week. - JMHO - Kim
    
    

    
    	The one song I heard from them sounded pretty good to me,
    	but then again, I like Rod Stewart's music.
    
    	Tigga~~~
    
    	MIGHT check it out...

Let me think about this... I've seen this lot once..no twice live up
    here in the chilly climes of Scotland... and to be honest
    
    
    I agree with -Kim-.... 
    
    No Tony dont hit me again...I didnt really mean it...

    	RE: Pete
    
    	While I can't say that they're entire album is great (the
    	demo Vicki let me have is merely ok) I don't think they're
    	THAT bad.
    	
    	Then again, I like the Rod Stewart "influence" they have.
    	
    	tigga~~~

    Are thes the London Quireboys? If so they will open for L.A. Guns, if
    not, I'll shut up.

    IS day any good? I'z gonna see them nexted month.

    
    	RE: Jesse
    
    	Yes. For us on the States side it's the London Quireboys
    	despite what TTT says!  Nyaah! (8
    	
    	I haven't heard their entire album, but as I said before,
    	the demo isn't too great.  
    
    	tigga~~~

    
    The album kicks!
            
    Its very 'Black Crowes' type rock 'n roll. No screaming guitars,
    no pyrotechnics, just lotsa rhythm and blues!
                                                 
    Tigga, suddup and go buy the album!

    If it's anything like Black Crowes, the I gotta check these guys out !
    
    Scary - who's deep into the Crowes these days ...

Well, I've only heard "7:00" so far, but I love that tune! And ys, they sound 
*very* much like the Black Crowes - actually, that's who I thought it was 
until I read otherwise here!

The London Quireboys at Axis..Wednesday June 6,1990

There's nothing fancy abou the London Quireboys.

Despite being booked on a usual Axis heavy metal night, the Quireboys are 
simply just a solid rock 'n' roll band, the mold of the Faces and the Rolling
Stones.

At Axis, the British sextet whipped through a tight 70-minute set.  Though
the initial focus was on singer Spike - whose gruff, expressive voice is
reminiscent of Rod Stewart - ultimately he was another instrument in the
Quireboys' earthy mix.

Grounded firmly by the powerful rhythm section of drummer Rudy Richman and
bassist Nigel Moog, guitarists Guy Bailey and Guy Griffin provided just the
right twangy, chunky, no-frills, fretwork while Chris Johnstone added
rollicking honky-tonk Keyboards.

Live, the band surpassed its fine debut album in rough 'n' tumble grit.
"Sweet Mary Ann". "There She Goes Again", and "Hey You" gained a harder
edge while "I Don't Love You Anymore" took on extra urgency and "Roses
& Rings" extra sweetness (whether its similarity to "Maggie May" is 
affectionate or annoying is still uncertain).

As with the album, the only flaw of the evening was the amateurishly juvenile
"Sex Party".

    Apparently the Quireboys will be opening up for L.A. Guns this Weds.
    July 11th at Axis in Boston............../K
    

    Took me a while to pick this one up but now that it is in CBS/Columbia
    House I was quickl to grab it. It's a great album and the reason it
    sounds SO Rod Stewartish (who I like) is that producer is Jim Cregan
    who was the guitarist for Rod on Foot Loose and Fancy Free, and other
    albums.....
    
    

    I got a free Quireboys promo casette at Coconut's last friday.
    It has a few tunes on it. I 'll listen to it before I die, anyway it's
    nice to get free music, no strings attached.

    The London Quireboys are recording their next album, tentatively
     titled Bitter, Sweet, and Twisted, with producer Bob Rock.

    I like this band its a pity when they write as many good songs as 
    the black(dicks)crows yet not half the worldwide recognision.
    
    
                                              Staynz

    I disagree....They have good songs but not half as good as the
         Black(cool)Crowes...
    
             Frizkid
    

    I don't have bad attitude,I just don't think they should get away with
    acting like utter dickheads,THEY have the bad attitude.
    
    
                 Staynz

    They're stars..........Your not.
    
                 Whine all ya want......The record companies will make
    more.

    If thats how to become a "star" then count me out.Publicity like that
    I can do without!

      You said it.......I didn't.
