| Rachels Pilchards Live outside theTiptree Co-Op. |
"Their Songs go on for hours,
Their Musics' worse than ours
What Is Oil are shit (crap) shit (crap)
What Is Oil are shit (crap) shit (crap)
What Is Oil are shit."
Okay so Rachels Pilchards were a Kazoo band from Maldon Essex, who in the '80's would play any and every where normally to an unreceptive if not downright hostile audience.
Steve Fish and Rolf Pilchard (Chris McKenna) were the ringleaders and other members came and went , often with a song added to the set in "tribute": "we're a whole lot better since we kicked keith out", "Neils got a big nose" and "Lord dikky is Missing".
There were a raft of Cassette releases recorded live, in a transit van, around a campfire and even a studio demo which was a real disappointment - the end result sounding just as you'd expect an all night night session by a bunch of arhythmic-drunken-atonal-drug-dealers-with toy instruments to sound like: "oooh look theres a button with echo written on it - press it AGAIN!!!"
Want to hear Neil's got a big nose and violent society
ReplyDeleteOh and what is oil might have been shit, but you sold their single in Wales
ReplyDeleteGutted I missed Steeple Bumstead but I drove everybody to Cardiff in a battered Robertson van,One of my favourite gigs ever.Had a roof rack and a side door and being hot the side door was open and half a dozen I think on the roof rack driving round the City Centre.I can only remember Donald on the roof-i have a picture of him somewhere trying to hang on!The roof collapsed but we propped it up when it went back to the hire company and no one noticed.
