Will Moore
End of the '70s:
with obscure guitar hero and flared jeans afficionado Duncan Cook. White coats, pink shades and punk. Banned from church halls around Didcot, UK. Quotable lyric...
"i love you but you don't love me because
you're in love with philosophy
you love to read and you love to write but
there are better things to do with the night"
80s:
(Julian Quinn - guitars, Robin Thacker - bass, Echo Moses - Sax, Phil McCoy - Drums). Taking psychadelic jazzed up punkabilly to the Home Counties. Julian where are you now? Quotable lyric...
"thatcher, mitterand, making up your comeback plan
you'd better stay where you are
there is no working class
there's nothing but atomic glass
and just one single patch of grass"
. Almost famous. For band info go to Dangerous Dave's band page on this site. Quotable lyric...
"i'm getting out at the very first chance
a refugee from a terrible dance
36 hours in a festering trance"
. Also go to Dangerous Dave's band page for info. Agoraphobic band constructed from the wreckage of Dig Dig Dig. Quotable lyric...
"i do not have opinions
i'd rather live in bristol"
90s:
. Milton Keynes-based frenetic punk pop ensemble with Ray Cave (guitars), Tim Smith (bass) and a variety of drummers.
Quotable lyric...
"He can play aboriginal digeridoo but he don't
do a single song
you can sing along to"
21st Century:
= coming collaboration with UK based "Dangerous" Dave Biggs of Dig Dig Dig/Bridge that Gap. The internet is a wonderful thing. Quotable lyric...
"He can't go forward
He can't go back
There's no reverse phsycology
In this sad sack"
And, of course, . Stuff recorded by me and any local musicians I find in the traps I've laid around the area. Quotable lyric...
"did ireally promise you the stars out of the sky
given my philosophy i can't imagine why
i've never had much influence with cosmic balls of fire
