A little while ago I watched this film called "24 Hour Party People" and the film drew me in to the whole Manchester scene od the eighties. I since have discovered the greatness of Joy Division and New Order. I was already into The Smiths and The Stone Roses and I'm kinda getting into the Happy Mondays. I have to say though some of Shawn Ryder's antics make Liam look like a novice. This has been a great scene for me to get into since I'm kinda getting out of punk since I'm all angered out in a sense. Apart from the bands above though, what would anyone else reccommend? By the way, out of curiosity, between the Roses and the Mondays, which two were more popular back then in Manchester? Did the Roses every play the Hausienda?

The Roses played the Hacienda once to my knowledge, which was broadcast late night on TV at the time (you'll be able to find a boot of it somewhere if you look hard enough)

The Roses got a real bad reputation in Manc around '87 when Ian and Mani (allegedly) spray painted the bands name on pretty much any wall they could find. The press weren't happy about that and so they got a reputation as being a loutish lad band. They had to rely on a bit of a cult following and often put on their own gigs (sometimes hiring out warehouses) or playing the clubs owned by their manager.

The Mondays were probably more popular as they fitted in with the dance orientated scene that was springing up at the time.

To be honest, Manc being a big student city, didn't really take to either band until they'd made it big elsewhere. The more arty Smiths were the band that everyone liked

To withdraw in disgust is not apathy.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
