i think i have seen TWENTY FOUR of these bands!!!!! mainly at festivals admittedly, but still.

but to answer your question:
Supergrass and Sleeper?
Mansun and Bennet?

Re: GUESS!

No on all counts! I have never seen Supergrass, Sleeper OR Bennet, but I did see Mansun at Pr3ston student union! (HAHA OH GOSH they were ALSO at the jig with one of the other set hahahahahaha)! I know there is definitely another so-called poptimist who also attended one of these jigs...

You have also seen Audioweb if you were at the same Manics gig as me which I think you were !

Nothing to see here.

Re: GUESS!

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Yes!
Manics, Audioweb and Mansun! (had forgotten Mansun were there at first, Audioweb were however BURNT INTO THE MIND OF AWFULNESS).

But can you guess the OTHER combo?

Twenty eight by my reckoning, and I've got the sneaking suspicion that I might have seen Jocasta and blanked it from my mind. The free shows put on for Gary "THE CROW" Crowley's middle-of-the-night ITV show is making a big boost in that count, but I was going to a lot of indie gigs in the mid-nineties anyway.
