Bands that were good but short lived

Anybody remember Vent 414 ? Lasted one album and a couple of years.

Just bought the album off Amazon for £7 quid decent stuff, bit biased with my love of the Wonderstuff!

Can't beat my vitriol for a 1 album wonder, they keep tweeting about another one next year but they've been doing that for 10 years

My vitriol - finelines. Fantastic album

Slow To Fade- Red Guitars. They were on the same label as us.

Excellent album. Matt the drummer was in nearly every band in Hull, mostly as a drummer but he sang in at least one as well.

Didn't realise Milburn were together that long like, used to love them. Also Little Man Tate, think they were only together 4 year or so.

Took them a few years to release an album like, remember seeing them in sheffield, still one of the best gigs I've ever been too. gutted like, if I'd have gone the night after arctic monkeys where supporting them! Strange old world

Is it still cool to like bands no fucker has heard of?

born toulouse · **Posted:** Mon Sep 16, 2013 9:44 pm

Yes but only if they have beards- growing some decent facial hair is half the battle nowadays.

Tbh I hate music so haven't heard of many of the fuckers at all.

On the subject of blasts from the past, I noticed that the bloody Flatmates are on the gig listings for the Cluny. Did they even get an album out?

Lift To Experience were another briefly fine band. Only one album, though it must have been about 27 hours* long.

(* or maybe an hour and a half)

I was up at The Cluny on Saturday to see a local indie group called The Hype Foundation, although they were good their set lasted all of 30 mins sadx
