[TrenchReport]

I bought the Shimmer 7" on Domus in Katrineholm on sale sometime round 1990 and really like the song. Didnt think much abuot it until tonite when I found this - gotta love youtube!

[chicostroke]

Teofilo Cubillas whether it was one of the best in the history of Peruvian soccer, now we just have to Pizarro xD! Turns listen pink blue, very good group

[Futtan]

Peru,wow I'm impressed .

Teofilo Cubillas one of the best!

[Futtan]

Think i taped about 2-3 Flatmates 7¨inch singles ,to my Sony walkman before going to Budapest in'88.

Had a great time with East German beer 3 swedish crowns per half litre.

In 1990 went to Bristol since then i hated freeways!

Great band,though!

I corresponded with Martin Whitehead in the late 90's as to what became of the band:

Martin was an entertainment lawyer (with the Sugarbabes on his client list);

Rocker had become a dentist in Brighton;

Debbie had dropped off the radar completely and was believed to be a housewife somewhere;

Sarah F was still involved in indie-music, apparently.

Shame they never gathered wider attention.

@eddiewillers1

Bit scary that news about Rocker..........

[nevereveranything]

@MatraMark Rocker was a dentist even when he was in the Flatmates. As far as I know he is still in Bristol, it was his replacement drummer Joel who moved to Brighton.

Another brilliant, shining jewel in the 80's indie scene - one of the greatest bands that never quite made it.

Deb Haines's voice (and Martin Whitehead's lyrics) are redolent of the 60's girl-group sound..excellent stuff!

[bolderr]

any rare live clips like the shop assistants clips that were posted recently?

[DESTROYriaa]

amazing band

[westgatehill]

why's it so hard to find anything by this band anywhere - Shimmer is an absolute classic that never fails to tingle the spine

[elmesiasadobado]

Eran los mejores mientras otros se llevaban la pasta como Primitives o Transvision Vamp,deberian volverse a reunir .en España nos encantaban

[flufferburns]

The jewel in The English Indie crown.

[davefe2side]

Awesome band. Would be great to see other tracks on YT - 'My empty head' is fantastic.

[lifeforlola]

[poskett]
