1069.0. "Tokyo Sex Whale" by NEWOA::DALLISON (So easy to excite.) Thu Sep 17 1992 09:26

    
    This band is made up of the remains of "10 Years After" (Mike Churchill
    and Rick Lee). They're in the process of album pre-production at the 
    moment and have some interest from record companies.
    
    For a couple of months I played guitar for the band along with my old 
    band, Stiff Kitty's, lead vocalist. I have since left the band and been 
    replaced by the guitarist from Aztec Camera (what it is to be brushing 
    shoulders with the stars!) but Alex, the vocalist, remains with the band 
    after the demise of Stiff Kitty.
    
    The band are doing 10 tracks and the style, despite the ridiculous
    band name, are performing in the Rock Blues style (ZZ Top springs to 
    mind).
    
    So, you heard it here first, and if a single piece of my music appears
    on that pre-production tape, I'll sue 'em!
    
    -Tony

1069.1	Basingstoke Sex Badger...?	ARRODS::OHAGANB	The filth and the furry	`Thu Sep 17 1992 10:44`	4
	I confess a preference for the name Tokyo Sex Whale over Stiff Kitty. Even better would be Stiff Whale Sex. :^) barry
1069.2	The Beatles??????? ha ha ha ha	CHEFS::IMMSA	adrift on the sea of heartbreak	`Tue Oct 13 1992 17:33`	10
	One does begin to think that some people get together to form a group for the sole purpose of inventing the stupidest name they possibly can. If they spent as much energy producing memorable music, the music scene in the UK, or even the Western World would not be in such a miserable state. Is there a note for the stupidest group name? If not, I shall scan the back pages of Melody Maker and start one forthwith. andy
1069.3	8^)	NEWOA::DALLISON		`Wed Oct 14 1992 15:13`	4
	Andy, How about all your 'Blind Dog Willie' or those other blues bros ?
1069.4	You want weird names? I got weird names alright.	PEKING::DAVIESG	I'm eating my head	`Wed Oct 14 1992 16:31`	5
	New Fast Automatic Daffodils/Neds Atomic Dustbin/Sultans of Ping F.C. to name but a few... Greg...
1069.5		WELCLU::HEDLEY	Chris the Git	`Fri Oct 16 1992 15:35`	5
	My previous band, in its brief incarnation, was generally known as Johnny Dysentry and the Heavily Soiled Undergarments. Tasteful, eh? Chris.
1069.6	sillier and siller	RDGENG::WHITEV		`Mon Oct 19 1992 15:28`	6
	I have some friends in Birmingham who occassionally play together as "Hygiene conscious pig" It's pig-core thrash at it's most silly. Vic. oh yes, and then there was "High as a kite and dressed in a duvet"
1069.7	Rock n Roll High School	ARRODS::OHAGANB	Said you came from Memphis	`Tue Oct 20 1992 12:32`	8
	Some school acquaintances of mine had a band called The Caesarian Disasters. Quite. They were useless but managed to support The Omega Tribe, also useless, at Barnet College. Whilst on the subject of school, the bassist from The Quireboys was in the year below me and I believe Chas Smash of Madness went to my school as well. Impressed or what? barry.
1069.8		WIZZER::PARRY	Trevor Parry	`Tue Apr 13 1993 10:24`	5
	Well I saw the previously mentioned on the TV last night. His name was spelt Tokyo Sexwale and he was one of the ANC men in South Africa. tp
1069.9		NEWOA::DALLISON	Toy Boy	`Tue Apr 13 1993 12:51`	6
	Alex and the guys are still recording the album. Heard some stuff that hadn't been mixed yet and it was good. Still think the name is naff though. -Tony
