RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) I had that 12" ep by the blood , but lost it when I moved home . It was pretty gothy from what I remember . Hard to find now . Alices restaurant was a pirate rock station on Saturdays and sundays . Sometimes you could hear them getting raided and start up again .. I was gonna say that I need to get out more , but due to COVID I can't 😺 This is still on one of my old record boxes ..

4000 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Don’t think my mate was on the recording. I’ll check with him when I get chance. I saw them play the Marquee; Buster Bloodvessel was in the audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so good the first time I immediately bought a ticket for the next night. His bass player was Bill Church - introduced as The Electric Church when he did his solo. One of my nicknames at the time was Bill, so with much hilarity on their part, my band at the time (who were and still remain my best friends, many years later), named me The Electric Bill. 😂 In fact, the drummer in that band also auditioned for Diamondhead, IIRC. And The Sweet at some point. He ended up in a punk band called The Blood. I think I saw The Blood. Did they support Slapshot back in the 90's?

I think my friend was only in them for a year or two, had long left by then. They have a page on Wikipedia; I just checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them live a good few times over the years, the guys are all decent singers in their own right so doubt there's any shenanigans going on, they still tour almost endlessly in US so they should be good. Joe has IMO never had a brilliant singing voice, back in the day he sounded a little bit AC/DC ish which is what rock bands needed, but having said that compared to J Bon Jovi he's not aged too badly!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykilz Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I used to get a lot of Tygers albums out from our local record library because the covers were so awesome ( to a 13 year old male!!). 🤘🤘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey Lamb even took a swig of my lager! Chatted to them after the gig; great girls. My mate (see previous posts) corresponded with Jody T for a bit after that.

That is close to how I said it, except for some reason I pronounced it with the M before the B, so it was always ner-womb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly they never went anywhere. A brilliant band from Brum. They made one album - "First Investment" which was reissued on a CD a few years back and a fantastic, three track EP. My copy of that is way cracklier than this version! Try and track down the Friday Rock Show Session they did around this time, too. They were a permanent fixture in the rock clubs of the West Midlands around the time of NWOBHM, but they were a bit too pomp-rocky to fit in with that scene. They were a really good live band, and metalheads of a certain location and vintage may remember them being added to the bill at a Judas Priest gig at the Birmingham Odeon, as JP were going to be late due to them recording a Top of the Pops appearance in the afternoon. Fun fact: John Overton, their guitarist, produced and engineered my first ever demo tape. I was genuinely starstruck.
