Swamptrash

[macha]

Does anyone remember stomping the night away to the happy crazed madness that was Swamptrash?

[Keltibarian]

Hell yes I do

Saw them numerous times in Aberdeen and Edinburgh... best Indy music of it's time was Swamptrash.... in fact I'm listening to "Makes No Never Mind" right now.

Most of the Band are now Shooglenifty, while Harry Horse is an author of Childrens books.

Shooglenifty are pretty good, but they're just instrumental. Without Harry Horse's crazy singing they aren't quite as fantastic as they might otherwise be.

I'd love to see them back together just for a few gigs.

One thing about Harry Horse was how he always involved the audience... usually some kind of rant about bongshang or suchlike.

Same period had Wee Free Kings, The Men They Couldn't Hang, King Kurt, the Meteors and The Blubbery Hellbellies....
...awesome times that was.

Good to see a fellow Swampy who remembers the greatest Scottish band of all time

Many's a fond memory dancing to this lot, most of those memories a tad hazy .... possibly the effect of alcohol? Still have the tee shirt and the album though!

eh . .. clueless as can be, but i'm interested. What's the likelihood i'd find an album of theirs abroad?
