Leicester City on (really old) album cover

[spionfox]

The finest song to come out of Leicester...........

But, what about "Trocadero"?

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Ruth's Refrigerator and the Deep Freeze Mice were the best Leicester bands.

Davey Graham was good and hugely influential too.

edit: Oh shit! Forgot about Prolapse too - another great Leicester band.

Ruth's Refrigerator and the Deep Freeze Mice were the best Leicester bands.

I'm not aware of their work but I'm still pretty confident they're not better than Yeah Yeah Noh

Gaye Bykers on Acid?

Decent.

Diesel Park West. Were they from Leicester?
I saw them supporting The Go-Betweens once. They had three guitars + bass. Very reasonable. Much better than The Go-betweens.

Diesel Park West. Were they from Leicester?

Yes. I saw them at Abbey Park music festival once. Wasn't impressed. Also saw Crazyhead there. They were much better.

The Go-Betweens were really not very good. Even DPW were better.

The Go-Betweens were really not very good. Even DPW were better.

To be fair to DPW I probably didn't give them much of a chance. If I remember correctly I saw the first couple of minutes before someone suggested we went to see what was on the other stages. It's a shame Abbey Park festival no longer happens, it was a cheap way to see lots of local bands.

I like the Go-Betweens. 16 Lovers Lane is a cracking album.
