Wall of Mouths

is here :D

Haven’t heard anything as yet. Andy usually lets me know so it will be up on the site beforehand :)

Can someone transcribe? The bit about T? at least.

That’s disturbingly catchy. I have no idea about the story though :s

Stressed Sumo? Yes, that’s Neil’s label.

Welcome to the boards :)

I think they’ve run off with Rene :’(

Woo! Congratulations. I had to miss a T? gig when I had my daughter. Luckily it was the Shameless tour so I didn’t feel too bad ;)

Damn your eyes :p *counts out coppers*

No,I worked. That’s 25p, please.

Yes. He’s Irish if that helps. And also, he looks like this:

Well done, Sherlock :p I happen to like Sean Hughes very much.

Page 82 of an old Sean Hughes novel called ‘It’s What He Would Have Wanted’:

Sean Hughes wrote:

“Shea, this is Catrina and Alison and they have kindly invited us to the Therapy? gig at the Astoria. Apparently the girls know the support act.”

“‘Do you like Therapy??’ she asked. ‘Not really,’ I replied, rusty at date-speak. She was quiet after that.”

“Back at the bar, it was quieter as Therapy? were on stage - we didn’t bother watching them, nor did another fifty or so people who obviously preferred the sound of their own voices to the primal boom of Andy Cairns’s.”

“Suddenly there was a big cheer as the singer announced it was the merchandiser’s birthday. He looked embarrassed and turned to us and said, ‘It’s just part of the show, they do this every night.’ They referred to him as ‘Mary’, probably because of his big girl’s laugh.”

“It was coming to the end of the gig and Therapy? started playing a few numbers I actually recognised. As soon as the band had left the stage the crowd began streaming out like meek sheep but with worse jumpers.”

They used to send you red ones with black gemils if you wrote to the fan club. I remember black ones with the Marshall style logo in silver, black and green German tour ones (I think with the Troublegum cover as the picture), big gemil window stickers. Kerrang! also went through a phase of giving away sheets of stickers and there were a few T? ones on those. I don’t know where you’d find any these days though :s - You could just buy yourself some sticker paper and print your own?

So is “Clowns Galore” the name of that song? Strange… that was the name of a song recorded for the OCFA sessions which was apparently a completed tune, apart from the vocals. The song in the video only seems to be an early idea.

“Well spotted! It’s obviously the same song-title but we’re re-writing the music and lyrics from scratch. There might be 1 riff from the original included but you never know as there’s a fair bit of re-arranging going on these days… ;)

Glad you like it in it’s primitive state, we’ll endeavour to film some more at the the next rehearsal and see if there’s a treat for you’s in there… regards… Michaelx”

Much to CAMRA’s disappointment…

*gets coat*

You noticed that post is 5 years old, didn’t you? :s

Good work :D

Dennis wrote:

BTW is Clowns Galore any relation to Pussy Galore?

Yes.

@Alan - I’ve emailed the band for clarification about the song name :)

I really liked the tune, I just wish it didn’t involve the word ‘clowns’. *shudder*

The official T? page is this one:

Do what you like with the groups :)

I’m sure I’ve heard of a band called Bongwater, mebbe it’s them?

Try here, Grant :)

Can you take yourselves to chit-chat please?

Oh I’m sure someone will find some…

Seems he’s gone back on his word already :s

It was some bloke who danced to If It Kills Me in his room for 2 seonds and then thought there was someone in his house and then - I don’t know, it was crap and I stopped watching. You didn’t miss much :)

I don’t think they’re playing the whole concert, no.

I’m gonna give it a listen tomorrow on the iplayer.

Hmm…listen to radio or watch Battlestar Gallactica. It’s a tough decision.

Is anyone going to be awake to point this out to Gideon?

Gideon Coe will be playing some live tracks from Therapy?’s 1994 concert at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall next Monday (the 4th) on BBC 6Music.

The show runs from 10pm-1am but you can listen again on the website up to 7 days afterwards. Here’s the link:
