99ster Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 These boys were tearing it up before a lot of you young 'uns were even born. One of the great UK underground funk bands. This live clip is from 1985-86. I must have watched this 1000 times on VHS back in the 80s - God bless YouTube! And if your a MM fan you'll be loving this big time...

Weird War Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yep, ACR had some quality tunes; I have the Do the Du/Shack Up 12" somewhere - class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Cool stuff indeed... Anyone remember this from around the same time as ACR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Good call - now there's a band! I remember seeing these a few times, quite ahead of their time, & they really knew how bang out a groove. Can hear their influence in a lot of punk-funk stuff going round now. Apparently, back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 There's something distinctly 80's about a heavily chorused stingray, isn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked ACR too; very Manchester! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 It's Medium Medium from Nottingham doing their underground classic "Hungry So Angry" from 1981. They were the band that should have put Nottingham on the map musically in the 80s, but despite great reviews they were never as well known or popular in this country as the other punk/funk bands of the time. Apparently they've been back in the studio for a new album, but since it was supposed to be released at the end of last year, I'm not holding my breath...
