What on earth are you talking about? They were the single most awesome band ever (except for the tunes, which always let them down a bit). Minty. Bette Davis and the Balconettes. Jaguar. Posh. Hoffman. The Secret Goldfish. Electroscope. Rhatigan. Basically, if I bought a 7-inch between 1996-2000, it was probably by a band that are best forgotten. If anyone reading was in any of these bands, I'm sorry, I still really like at least one of your songs, but fate is cruel. |
sarram- great call on imperial teen.

Great call. I remember that they exist, but I couldn't name a song of theirs if you gave me a million pounds/ oral sex (I do my best remembering when I'm being fellated). |

Me neither and I had a single of theirs that, believe or not, I went out to buy with enthusiasm. |
Glice, seriously, ELECTROSCOPE?
That band was fucking great, and seriously if they are forgotten it is definitely not for good reasons. That is some of the most truly unique and difficult to describe bedroom-recorded music ever. I have two LPs and a 7". Are there more? One of those LPs came with a shopping bag and a kite. They knew how to party. |
60ft Dolls: Happy Shopper. Awesome tune (-ish). I'll see that and raise you Northern Uproar (with a side dish of 18 Wheeler).
Arnold! Ruth! I'm on fire right here. If this were a pub I'd by a pint for anyone who could remember the difference between Imperial Teen and Imperial Drag. |

Hmm. Maybe I was being a bit harsh. They are a good band. Scratch previous comment. Thanks. |

I used to hang out at Jone's apt in San Fran in the early 90's when she lived with this woman Lynn who drummed for Dino Jr. It was supercool city I'd tag along with my housemate just to check out the scene-she'd been pals with Jone back iN Reno and had convinced Kevin Seconds to masturbate for them one boring night. I remember they told me like they couldn't believe he went for it, but I was thinking, hmm, if two chicks begged me to masturbate for them I don't see much of an issue there, and told them so. Jone told us once about some guy with 2 german sheperds for whom she'd housesit, and the guy had trained the dogs to give him oral, and she was forever having to push the dogs away from her. They were always hanging out with some guy Roddy i think was his name who was in Faith No More but more known among this circle for being the Cobain's babysitter. I couldn't make up this stuff if i tried... |

Imperial Drag has (had?) someone kind of popular on their own in the line up or something like that? |
Quote:
I think I have a CD they did also...I was just thinking of this band the other day-I like the name a lot...have to dig them out...there was more than one 7" though, I think... |
Quote:
Imperial drag have some association with Slash's snakepit, apparently. Imperial teen have some association with Faith no More. Scan reading Wikipedia articles is rubbish, no? |
I'm always baffled by the fact that my head throws God is my co-pilot into this category. There was always a potentially great band there, but I never heard it on any of their records.
