Bone Orchard

I was so excited when I found this tape again, some great bands played that weekend but unfortunately its pretty much unlistenable. Someone had the great idea of hosting Futurama in a decrepit , damp cathedral like hall in the middle of Leeds. The acoustics were apalling at the time and its hard to hear anything on the tape apart from the odd remnant of over treated guitar - this was in the time that chorus pedals walked the earth (armoury show, comsat angels, chameleons etc).

The other inspired decision was having Bay City Rollers headline, god did they cop some flack - physical , verbal and kharmic. The crowd was exceptionally aggressive and it was a bit of a culture shock for us "soft southern bastards" too, Id never seen chips served with mushy peas on top before.
I remember we stayed with some friends of little roger on the way up, they were full on vegan-anarchos and played some of their music to us, it sounded ok but we all smugly believed that noone would ever go and see a band called Chumbawumba.....




Bone Orchard was Prents' band from Brighton, of course he was now called Troy Tyro or somesuch, they had this striking front-woman with a huge blonde hairdo and a fearsome growl , the band peddled a pretty cool strain of Birthday Party by-product. Id forgotten they even played this festival, and if you are familiar with their work you might just be able to work out this is them.....
