T-Bay Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I know this is a long shot but here goes, I saw Therapy and Silverfish play at Rock city in the early 90s, I think 93 but could be wrong. There was a third band on the bill but I cannot for the life of me remember who it was, they were one of the darlings of NME at the time but beyond that I am lost. I have searched every source I can think,of with no luck. So I thought it was worth an ask on here in case anyone either had any knowledge of where I could find the info, or even better, was there.

Skybone Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I wasn't there, but Silverfish were ace. I do remember them having a fair bit of music press coverage at the time, and the slot on Snub (BBC2). Could it have been Transvision Vamp? They had a lot of music press coverage / indie darlings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Nope, but thanks anyway, they were an all male group, pretty sure they were a four piece but could have been five. Definitely weren’t a trio as I distinctly remember the lead singer and he wasn’t playing as well. I have just drawn a blank trying to research it, it may have been May 93 but again I am far from sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were with them Some other dates on the tour but it doesn’t ring a bell at all and I don’t recognise any of their songs. I thought they were a northern band as well but could be wrong on that.

el borracho Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I remember seeing all these around that time but after a quick google all I can find is that the two of them definitely toured with Gallon Drunk in 93 - you say it wasn't them though. Nomeansno maybe?? - played with Silverfish and Therapy in 91 - not sure about Rock City though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure on Gallon Drunk, I sort of assumed it would be a light bulb moment when I heard the name and I would go ‘that’s the one!’, It would be nice if I could find confirmation either way.

NancyJohnson Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Always up for a challenge, I had a good old internet trawl on this one; scant evidence online does lean toward Gallon Drunk. Funny is it? It was only 1993 and it seems like the dark ages. If you were to fast forward 25 years to 2043 and ask who were third on the bill when <insert band name here> played <insert venue here>, you'd have zero problem finding out what you want to know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it, I spent several hours trawling everything I could find using every search term I could think would work (Silverfish isn’t a great name for that!) but in luck. I am now pretty sure it was May the 23rd but still can’t be 100%. Gallon drink certainly seem likely, as they were at other dates with them last year, but it just doesn’t ring a bell at all. Knowing there are a few Therapy? Fans on here I thought it was worth an ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Can always find Leslie on Facebook and asked her if she remembers, she's really rather lovely, probably won't even bite your head off 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project_c Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Here's Silverfish at the Falcon, 1989 or 1990 maybe. I'm in this photo too, aged 17. Loved this era. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpipe Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Setlist.fm lists Gallon Drunk for that show. Not necessarily correct, but might help. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/therapy/1993/rock-city-nottingham-england-7be46a00.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
