This is the thread where we reminisce over not particularly good Evening Session bands from the 80s

Was it called the Evening Session back when Janice Long was doing it? I dunno. Anyhow, this is Marcello's fault for mentioning Raymonde in the TOTP thread.

Don't be blaming me for broken crunchy Britain!

Anyway, The Sect.

Nope, never heard of them! Were they goths?

Anyhow, theme tune to this thread is 'Driving Away From Home' by It's Immaterial.

No, they were good and one of them ended up in the Christians.

Voice Of Reason by the Sect was the NME's 27th best album of 1987.

The Parachute Men.

parachute men had at least three really, really fantastic singles

Frankie Goes To Hollywood before ZTT signed them up.

What he said, Leeds Station is a great lost classsic.

I'd nominate Goodbye Mr MacKenzie, the first single the Wilf Smarties produced ''The Rattler'' was fantastic, but once they signed to a major they remixed the single and they were never the same band again.

Yeah 'The Rattler' was good and should have been a hit really. Didn't it get scotched from the daytime playlist for the eating beaver bit or something?

is it just me that's missing a "show all messages" option for this thread?

there's less than a dozen messages - you're mixing it up with the 90s thread

thereminimum chips (electricsound), Thursday, 9 October 2008 10:47 (sixteen years ago)

er, yeh, i'd just realised that and was coming back to say: "i'm a dick".

The Seers - Welcome To Dead Town (sorta good) Everything Else (sort bad)
