Dunno remember when i first got into Therapy?…It is probably a toss up between two things…Borrowing Babyteeth from my mates sister…and (and i’m not proud of this) stealing a bootleg copy of Nurse from a record fair when my folks weren’t looking…
anyway…
I got hooked…and have been hooked ever since…what with gigs and festival appearances, i think i’ve seen therapy? about ten times…
The best gigs of Therapy? were at the Barrowlands about 94/95…mobbed…place went nuts…i ended up sweaty, shoeless, and bruised…
and then when they played the Cathouse in 2000 and it was my birthday and people were pissed at me crowdsurfing but i didn’t care and the band were excellent…Kyuss …And the circus leaves town album was playing before they came on so it was a birthday dream come true…
I act like an unofficial unpaid ad guy as i hassle everyone i know into buying the albums etc…
My musical tastes vary everything from Fugazi and Kyuss to The Wildhearts and MAssive Attack to Life of Agony to Afghan Whigs..but Therapy? were the sound of my adolesence…growing up listening to Therapy? and trying to work out why the popular girls ignored the “punk” guys…oh how things change…now the popular girls are screaming for punk…ah well…
And if anyones going to glasgow gig then see you there
So it’s a goodbye from me and it’s goodbye from him
