early factory band video clip from manchester

The band Crispy Ambulance were formed in Manchester (UK) in 1978 by Alan Hempsall (vocals), Keith Darbyshire (bass), Gary Madeley (drums) and Robert Davenport (guitar).

Following a self-released debut single From the Cradle to the Grave (Aural Assault, 1980) the band joined Factory Records. Singles Not What I Expected (Factory, 1980) and Live on a Hot August Night (Factory Benelux, 1981, produced by Martin Hannett) preceded the album The Plateau Phase (Factory Benelux, 1981), and final single Sexus (also Factory Benelux, 1981).

  • Are you ...serious question !

  • The REAL deal... They made it through without sacrificing their IDENTITY. Even if it was a local thing for them...it will, not doubt carry on for many years in the hearts of the enlightened for generations.

  • @ptd1965 Hempsall famously was asked to stand-in for Ian Curtis when he flaked out before a gig [London somewhere, I think] & this caused a riot. The two bands often shared vans, equipment etc

  • I still have the Factory VHS with this song. CA was one of my favorite groups back then, along with the Names and JD. Wish I'd have known they were in Boston a few years back. That would have been great.

  • Best 12" record I ever bought from a friend who thought selling his vinyl collection was a good idea. A classic nugget from that time and place. Hooray for Manchester.

  • fuck Ian Curtis and his fucking depression. cheers to Alan Hempsall, nice vocal thus

  • @simionTheOne Why base this on Ian Curtis? they're their own style but fall in the same genre of the Manchester post period.

  • The presence

    

  • Found 'm through Control, where woody allen or whats his name had to sing for Ian Curtis, Are these guys worth listening to?

  • Why did you remove my post. What is this song called. I don't care for the history.. clearly they didn't make it big (like Chameleons UK didn't either but still have a huge following in the states). Anyways.. what the fuck is this song called.

  • The North Will Rise Again (Again)

  • Dnload the audio from this vid at searchripgrab doht cohm.
