The Lost Soul Band - The Land Of Do As You Please and Friday the 13th and Everything's Rosie. I might dig my vinyl out later as well.
I used to go and see them years ago when I was a student in Edinburgh and after I qualified when I worked in Kent I'd go see them in London and then they split up at the end of 1994 after 3 albums, a couple of singles and no chart success whatsoever. You can hear them on myspace, and Sunday night's gig is on youtube in various parts. They've reformed for a couple of farewell gigs, Spice Girls style, and I went to see them on Sunday and it was just like all the years just rolled away and I was young again. They were probably Scotland's best ever least successful band, they were just at the wrong time.
You know the Kingsmill ad with the song that goes you're lovely to me yes you are? That's Gordon Grahame, who is the singer of The Lost Soul Band.
It was so good to see them, and nice to have a chat with a couple of them afterwards too. I used to be quite pally with Gav, the percussionist, and their mate Sandy who is a legend on the Edinburgh pub band scene, but I hadn't seen either of them since the mid-90s.
