Does anyone know where I can contact bassist Eddie Conolley of this band? His contribution to indie has been sorely overlooked! He was Adorable's manager, but so hard to find!
Saw them live in 86/87 supporting the jesus and mary chain and thought they played much better,although the mary chain's drum machine kept cutting out.
You're right, diddlywinkz, it often takes exposure on a film or tv soundtrack to reach a wider audience. Thanks for the comments and ratings, everyone!
I'm waiting for a film maker to regenerate interest in this song by using it in a movie. It just never got the fame it deserves. Truly great lyrics. I don't think it was released on cd.
I once supported them in Edinburgh along with The Vultures in 1988! I think I was so nervous I got drunk on cider and joy-rides, it's all a blur now!
