Anyone heard of Ned's atomic dustbin?

I used to work with a brother of a member of Fretblanket. We both had the misfortune of working in Discount Bike World in Sports Division Merry Hill. He was a mountain biker as well!

Fretblanket – a regular at the Old JBs (along with Panic Beach, Belch Pop Frenzy…all those bands that seemed to pop up on the free nights that were mostly the regulars from the other nights!)

For old JBs goers, there is a good page on fb

(To bring it back on topic, I was at the filming of the original KYTV video at JBs)

First saw neds at Wolverhampton civic hall in 93, was immense. Big stuffies, poppies, things fan as well. Saw kingmaker a few times, and therapy, senser, etc.

I think stuffies stand the test of time better than most of them but it did feel like a great time in music.

Saw neds’ supporting wonderstuff at king georges hall, blackburn, thinking late 80’s but not totally sure. 8 legged groove boys were immense, all i remember of neds is a tower of about 4 people sitting on each others shoulders swaying round the dance floor.

“I remember Marcus. I reckon I saw Neds over 25 times. Got snowed in on their first Civic hall gig. Seeen em Leeds, Norwich, Rock City, London, Glasgow, newcastle – used to hitch everywhere.”

Probably met you at some point Marginwalker. I doubt if saying I had dreads and wore a stripey t-shirt and hitched around with my kit bag narrows it down though!

Just been offered VIP/backstage ticket to Neds Atomic Dustbin gig in Wolves on saturday, just one thing….who are they again?

Remembrer watchin CUD

even I’ve seen CUD live in the mid nineties

I even went to a Cocteau Twins gig 🙄

Oddly enough, Sean Keavney played Senser this morning on 6!

you had to pick your bar carefully not to get beaten up. Bottle of K cider anyone?

See you in the Purple Turtle…

Don’t tell me your a P’boro boy Stoner? If so unreal. I used to throw vinyl on at The Shamrock

K cider! Rememeber the lemon alcopop? Green bootle.

For me the early 90s were acid and….ermm Acid Jazz

Don’t tell me your a P’boro boy Stoner?

c.mid 90s
My best mate was from Marlow. The Purple turtle had immense numbers of different bottles of beer and the wallpaper was gig flyers.

Got tickets for PWEI / Wonder Stuff / Jesus Jones in december. I saw the Stuffies and the Levellers recently, they’ve both still got it. Some of Miles Hunt’s recent acoustic / solo / him and a girl (Erika Nockall) is prety good too.

Fuzz from PWEI

And me. Erika is Miles Hunt missus. I have met them both a few time and are really nice people.

Fuzz now drums for the Wonderstuff.
He also has a classic car business in Walsall and writes for classic car mags.

All the cool kids followed Fridge Death.

Mr. Jesus Jones (Mike Edwards) used to appear quite regularly in MBUK in the mid-90’s. I guess you could sort of call that ‘journalism’.

Neds’ are at Wolves Civic this Sat with the Frank & Walters and Cud.

And they were brilliant!

what a great thread, saw therapy back last year they were great.

i was always a massive wonderstuff fan, sad really as they could have been massive.

saw them about 4 years ago in bristol, think it was just miles and the lead guitar guy, it was quite a sad gig as miles was obviously doing it just for the cash, he was p*ssed off his head on red wine and was in a foul mood.

so them at beautiful days aswell, he had a face like a slapped arse.

never forget levellers headlining glastonbury (1993??) epic.

aaah the glory days….
