nick Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 [quote name='indiegrungesound' post='1105322' date='Jan 27 2011, 05:46 PM']I remember seeing a close up picture on Wikipedia of him from the "Diamond Hoo Ha" tour with that bass, and it had the EXACT same "Spirit by Steinberger" logo on it as mine. Apologies for being pedantic. The Hohner and Spirit basses are probably the same basses but with different logos. Besides, seeing as you have one, you'll know they sound great anyway! :-)[/quote] I think it was a Steinberger too. Recall when it came up on ebay, watched the auction.

I take it from the comments here, I wouldn`t be wasting my cash getting a best of?

umcoo Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The 'best of' looks pretty good, but the first 2 albums are full of great tracks - I got a special edition In It For The Money with b-sides and rare tracks off ebay for about 75p...cracking. There's a track on the 'best of' called 'Bullet' that isn't on any other album...it absolutely melts my face every time I hear it. Love it.

Norm Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 [quote name='BurritoBass' post='1105375' date='Jan 27 2011, 06:26 PM']I was so into I Should Coco when it came out. I found In It For the Money a bit of a let down but still enjoyed it. However I saw them on that tour in Cambridge and they were blown off stage by Spacehog, a band who's album I thought was weak but put on one of the best live shows I have ever seen. Supergrass by comparison looked like they didn't want to be there. I've still bought the albums and liked some of the songs. I think my expectations of them live really took a knocking that night[/quote] Hey, BurritoBass it must be just you & me that got that Spacehog album! I still like it. I can't find many people who have ever heard of them. Never saw them live though, sounds like I missed out. I only saw Supergrass twice & they were great both times, but it was early days 1st & 2nd album time. Norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 There was a member join recently who called himself Spacehog. I had to go on wikipedia to see if he was from the band...he wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh2 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Yes... Micky's a tidy player... supported them once or twice @ The Jericho Tavern. He's got a new band or two going. Edited January 29, 2011 by bh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisK1975 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 One of the best bands I've ever seen / heard. Savagely underrated in my opinion. They were easily as good as (if not better than) any of the 'name' Britpop (I only use the term to define the period in time!) bands.

Deep Thought Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 We do 'Pumping on your stereo'. Always works well, and good fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBass Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I Should Coco is a fantastic album that comes from that fantasy world where I'm perpetually 21 and it's always summer. Impressively accomplished considering how young they were. There was a big buzz around about them locally when they first emerged, being from just down the road as they were. I always liked Mickey's basslines (I think he played an Ibanez Roadstar?) and while I lost interest in them after the second album I remember them very fondly.

lou24d53 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Saw them a good few times, remember Mick Quinn rocking a black headless Steinberger at the Glasgow ABC a good number of years ago...it was that long ago, Seasick Steve was the support act before anyone really knew who Seasick Steve was at the time...!!
