I got thinking about this lot last night at a gig with Jesus H Foxx – an earlier incarnation of that band supported this lot ages ago (I mean ages, maybe 10 years back? I have no idea where HG#1 are now, I might post on the Jockrock forum and see what happens – probably very little!)
Couldn’t find anything from their fine debut album online either, but as it happened this is well worth sharing, even if it sounds quite far removed from their old sound (this is actually not unlike current plat de jour, Happy Particles – who were headlining last night).
I love it when a post comes together.
random ramblings
musings on music, technology and who knows what?
Sure you were at the right gig?
This sounds nothing like Happy Particles.
I should maybe have said “reminds me of”. And “slightly.” Not the song structure or even the vocals – it’s mainly the guitar work I guess. A wee bit like ‘Infinite Jet’ perhaps?
ok, maybe not…
neil from hookers green is the main man in the douglas firs. nick went off to a life of academia in canada. various other ex-members are scattered across the uk but it was mainly nick and neil’s project.
