The Motocycle Boy - Big Rock Candy Mountain

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!

Got here from Talulah Gosh which I got to from the book Nirvana The True story. Love following the trail

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!

I also saw them support The Mary Chain on the Barbed Wire Kisses tour or was it Darklands The Fizzbombs also played Jim Reid was wrecked!!!

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.

Remember this, loved it.

a modern classic except that only very few people know about it ... sad

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!

@v3getableman,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Sorry I'm so late!

[diddlywinkz]

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.

[witchman67]

Yes, I have not heard this song on the radio since 1988.

[robertjc1966]

Thanks for this one - so many memories!

[RockabillyKitty62]

A real blast from the past!!! I still love this song now

I love The Motorcycle Boy ... this is still as fresh as ever. Heartbreaking.
