The Men They Couldn't Hang - Gold Rush

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

I've loved this fucking band since I first heard "The Domino Club" in late 1990. Swill, you gotta learn to duck, chief!

[Haych20]

good to hear this again. Anyone have the album version to upload as i love the intro to this?

[highhorsefilms]

Bushranger perchance?

BRING BACK THE SAWDUST

[KrilaSounds]

@highhorsefilms - indeed! I do miss the old Bushranger. Swanky wine bars just don't do it for me.

Excuse me - but I am a freelance writer for a newspaper in Arkansas, and where you singing of the Dover Lights legend found in Arkansas when you wrote the lyrics to your song? If yes, how did that come to be with you living in the UK?

[KrilaSounds]

Paul Simmonds' notes to "Dover Lights" are as follows:

"This was more or less written on the Calais to Dover ferry (I had a thing about ferries...) on our way back from a long tour and feeling homesick as always. The ferry bar was full of football hooligans returning from an away game and terrorising the entire ship."

So the answer in short would be: no, nothing to do with Arkansas, sorry.

Gold rush/ Gold Stirke, best start to an album ever. really captured the oil rush in england

Pure quality. Still making records and still touring, roll on Newcastle in December....!
