At this stage, I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised.

Happy birthday, by the way.

Chinese whispers? It would be about as credible as sourcing Wikipedia. Maybe more so.

A girl I work with has a friend whose brother’s girlfriend’s stepfather grew up in the same street as the uncle of the singer from Bogshed, and apparently he’s none too pleased at the description of his erstwhile band as “goofy”.

Or something.

This might be a good point to mention one of the factual errors that TC's bassist pointed out to my friend: the CD of this album was not actually released on Pathological. It came out on Jackass, just like the LP. So where the hell did I get that idea form???

I came by that piece of information on Wiki, so you might like to take it with a pinch of salt. Sounds plausible though.

Yeah, I actually personally know two people in two different cities who’ve played live with Damo Suzuki. But I’m interested to know where you came by that piece of information.

The guy who played with A.R. Kane is called Russell Smith, for what it’s worth.

And apparently Gordon J Watson and Simon Doling of ver Cheesecake have at some stage worked with Damo Suzuki.

But then, who hasn’t?

Yeah, the name conjurs up that “post-post-punk” scene of goofy Peel approved bands like Bogshed, does it not?

BTW, a friend of mine knows someone who played bass for TC and who has apparently perused this post and found it wanting, factually speaking.

To be fair (to me), their isn’t a huge amount of information available on bands like this. I did just stumble across this nugget though: apparently the guitar player from TC also played with A.R. Kane and Skullflower.

Nice.

Interesting that you put Terminal Cheesecake in an early 90′s timeframe as it’s a name which (to me) immediately conjures up memories of Peel c. late 80′s.

Maybe I’m confusing them with Death By Milkfloat.
