Forever Again ISPC
A, well, sort of friend of mine (we only know eachother through email) bought a CD with Eric's Trip in a what we in Sweden would call a Buy, Trade Sell recordstore (but we use the Swedish words :). He'd never heard them before and thought it was a single but it turned out to be a copy of Forever Again with the words In-Store Play Copy written all over it. The cover is not the same as the real one, it's got a blackwhite photo of the band sitting on the top of a stair, taken from the bottom of the stairs. It was unopened, still in plastic, and he paid 20 SEK for it... that's like 4 CAD I think... Um, well, that's all... maybe it's interesting to someone... BTW, Johnny Panic wrote reg. Sonic Youth : 4. they suck cos washing machine has got one stinking lousy cover. Cool, have they really covered one of OUR songs???!!! :) Magnus |_|_|_ |_ _| _|_| _| _| |_ |_ |_ |_ _| _| _| _| _| |_ |_ |_ |_ _| _| _| _| |_ |_ |_ |_ _|_|_|_| |_ |_ |_ |_ _| _| _|_| |_|_|_|_|_| _|_| _| |_ _| |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| _| [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/lousy.html http://www.mc.hik.se/benno/Home/Bands/Bands/Lousy/lousy.html
SuperFriendz article in _Watch_
Okay, I was asked to post this so here it is: (comes from the Dec. 1995 _Watch_.. there's also a photo of the SFZ.. but look! No tight shirts! ;)) These days, being a part of the Canadian music scene just isn't what it used to be. The Hip have become just another roadside attraction, Sloan seems to be in perpetual hiatus and everyone is listening to brit-pop.. Who will help us reclaim our Canadian pride? Well, my money's on Super Friendz, another great band from Canada's east coast. ANd like all new bands, their life is touring. We have been on three tours where we've played to people who have basically never heard our music before,says Drew Yamada (guitar). With a comment like that, you can tell Super Friendz have already had their share of bad touring experiences, including gruelling drives from gig to gig. Once we had to drive from Toronto to Edmonton between shows. We drove for 36 hours straight. We lost it. It was fun, Drew recalls. As for their music, Super Friendz' sound brings new meaning to the word eclectic. There are four band members, three of whom write songs and each of whom has a distinct style. All memebers sing too, making for some nice harmonies. Formed in 1993 in Halifax by Matthew Murphy (guitars), Yamada and Charles Austin (bass), Super Friendz was originally an acoustic band. Then, in 1994, after various drummers - including Thrush Hermit's Cliff Gibb and Sloan's CHris Murphy - played with them, Dave Marsh took over and Super Friendz as we know them was created. (guess they forgot about SFZ new drummer extroadinaire) In New York they have a nickname for Canadian bands, says Yamada. They call us ham n' eggers. Hopefully, Super Friendz will elevate Canadian music above the level of breakfast food.
