Chopper



Players, Wakefield 1994 (I think) with Goober Patrol and Leadfoot (I think, Lead something anyway)

We had Goober Patrol up for a few days to play some gigs in Scotland and I ended up going down to Wakefield with them and got to see Chopper for the first time and stay at their place which was fun, although the hangover the next day certainly wasn't.






Old Westie, Dundee 1995 with Hooton 3 Car, Broccolli and Apple Orchard

Chopper came up to Dundee for this cracker of a gig, didn't reciprocate putting them up though as we were hosting the H3C chaps once again.

Dagobah - If Music Be The Food Of Love... demo



Nick the drummer from Dagobah sent me this demo not long after they recorded it asking me if I could review it in ENZK. Which I did. I loved it. They were from Grantham in England which I actually drove through once, on a long shortcut from Nottingham to Dundee. I still don't really know where it is though as we went all over the shop on that drive but I did think 'Hey this is where Dagobah come from' when passing the town sign 'Wonder if they know the way to Scotland?'. Dagobah ended up releasing some great 7"s on Crackle Records toured the U.S. and split up and reformed and slit up again. Twice I think.



It's a very old tape that looked a bit worse for wear, there was a bit of wobble and a lot of hiss so I've digitally remastered it (run noise removal on free software off the net) for you to help out a bit. Anyway this was an old favourite of mine by a band that came across as very ramshackle and fun, which is why I loved them. So download and enjoy seven energetic and slightly rough and ready tunes from a galaxy far far away...
