  • no, it WONT be on the next album. it's not on the official tracklisting. they've been playing this song for years now, and there's no sign of a true release. so frustrating.

  • Gaika Gorkish also introduced a complex dance move called: The Wave. Recently "The Wave" has been re-introduced by singer-songwriter Rinus from Holland. He can be seen performing "The Wave" in the hit-single "Here in the disco". Paul Weller is also a famous performer of "The Wave". The Modfather can be seen doing it during many of his concerts.

  • Dicky played with the band Gaika Gorkish in the Canisius factory in Schinnen, somewere in the late 70ties.

    Gaika Gorkish were a late 1970s supergroup consisting of Dicky Curtis, George Harrison, Boyo Pfeifer, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Ruud Appelhof. The band recorded two albums during the two years they were together.

  • I saw you mentioned the band Pullover, is that the band that Dicky Curtis formed after he got stuck in a turtleneck...

    Oh my, what a fascinating guy he still is... I never realised that when I was uploading this vid.

  • @Laumskie

    Dicky got stuck in a turtleneck pullover in 1965. They had to call 06-11 emergency number and get the fire-department over to his house and cutt him out of his pullover sweater. He almost suffocated during that incident.

    "Dicky is dead" is an urban legend alleging that Dicky Curtis died in 1965 during the "Turtleneck incident" and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike.

    After all this commosion involving the incident, Dicky started a new band called: Pullover.

  • All this information is new for me. I lost the band around '76 because of guiltiness in the Lockheed-affaire ( you probably know this story). Piet Tobben, you maybe know him as: the kruun of Mushanga, attented me of the fact that they did a try-out gig at the Canisius factory in Schinnen... Don't know if the information is true, maybe you can check it for me...

  • The bass player in Dicky's band The Cunters was called They Laumen. This man was a propper legend to. The Cunters were a band from 1982 - 1987 and played mosty acid-britpop, its been said that bass player Mani from the Stone Roses was heavily influenced by They Laumen and took over his playing style on the bass guitar.

    They Laumen went on to become a football-scout. He discovered Tommie Daemen among others. Some say he will be the next Piet de Visser.

  • Thomahawk gig in '72 was legendary stuff!!! There was at that time a rumour spredding that Steve Marriott would replace Dicky Curtis in The Nod. Dont now if you remember that?

    Struck me most about Dicky Curtis was his magical dissapearence from the scene in the period: '91/ '96. Nobody knew were he was those years, including himself.

  • If you can upload The Nods most famous song: Never talkin' anyway, I would be stoked, love that song, but its almost nowhere to be found.

    The intro goes something like this: "Never talkin' anyway" and then "your wife" .... its a song about women, The Nod wrote mostly songs about women.

  • Oh my, this one reminds me of my early days. I had totally forgotten this smashing tune of The Nod. Now we're talking mate, never talk in anyway was a massive anthem back in the days. Starting with that great guitar riff and then that sentence about your wife, what a tune...

    I will try to find some stuff in my archive!

    You also saw the Thomahawk gig they played in '72? That gig was live broadcasted on CNN!

    Cheers

  • @PengPengBoateng2 Sorry mate, I fuckin' searched my whole archive in the past two years, but found nothing suitable! I hope i didn't dissapointed you...

  • Dicky Curtis played in numerous bands: The Nod, Double Trust, The Liquid Turfwars, Torka Express, The Cunters, Rumbletongue, Gaika Gorkish, Mush, Pullover, Mander China and Tjakkas, among others.

  • I will give it my best shot, PengPeng! Please give me a few more days to get this happen... You're maybe also intrested in early bootlegs of The Liquid Turfwars?

  • Laumski, could you please upload more original songs from Dicky Curtis?

  • This is a cover, the original song is played by Dicky Curtis & The Nod. That being said, thanx for loading it up Laumski!!!
