I agree, i'm not very good at writing stuff, but ok with all the facts etc. I know there's people out there who can write, so let's see how we go. I think i saw Paul mention birthdates ... so here goes:- Stevie Jackson 16th January 1969 Sarah Martin 12th February 1974 Isobel Campbell 27th April 1976 Richard Colburn 25th July 1970 Stuart Murdoch 25th August 1968 Chris Geddes 2nd October 1975 Mick Cooke 15th December 1973 Stuart David 26th December 1969 (and mine's November 15th .. all cards + pressies to either Jeepster or the PO box please ...!) i'm gonna have to phone Alan Rankine for the details on Tigermilk (recording dates, release date etc.), so stay tuned for that. This info looks as though it's gonna come in dribs and drabs ... sorry! - umm, tracks off "Dog On Wheels" ep only feature Stuart M & Stuart D and Mick Cooke, all the other peoples are session musos, as those tracks were the original Rhode Island demos (what they were before B&S ... i think there were a few {bedroom} gigs and a radio session performed under this name ... glasgow only). - first tape sent to jeepster featured Dog, State, belle and sebastian (which were the tracks in the same form - no remixes - on the dog ep) and a demo version of my wandering days are over. - wandering days and state were re-recorded and appeared on tigermilk. stuart d lived with richard, and stuart d was on the training course with stuart m. - richard was the one doing the stow college course, and he took the demos of the two stuarts in to stow, hang on, i'm just looking at an early press release, and it said neil (robertson, jeepster scout) introduced the band to stow as he was doing the course (?). - band were formed by Stuart m in january 1996 recruiting members at the grosvenor cafe over three days. - band by that stage was the two Stuart's, stevie, richard, isobel and chris, with mick being the trumpeter but not a full-time member, as he was in a band called "Hardbody" (recently dropped by Sony). - tigermilk was recorded and mixed in three days at Cava and produced by stuart m who also did the artwork. - first live radcliffe session was july 1996. - sarah joined sometime after tigermilk came out and the band were signed to jeepster on August 1st 1996. - sinister recorded mostly live an finished in seven days, with another three to mix it. again, produced by stuart. - initial lp title (stuart m's anyway) was Cock fun. - modern rock song was going to be on sinister, however they only wanted ten tracks, so when they asked mark what his fave was, they took it off. - sinister released november 18th 1996. - stuart won't release dog ep in other countries, as it doesn't feature all the band. aarrrgghh ... overload! that's enough for now, questions might help, then i know what you want. cheers, katrina. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
