Hi all

Hee hee, just had to check your profile to check your age.

No age, but you're female, so at least you didn't wear a Blue Rondo type zoot suit!;)
 
Sadly not Garinda! I'm 38, I'm sure most of you lot remembering Klacto are around the same age. Anyone for Haysi Fantayzee, Thomas Dolby, Scritti Politti, the Associates, to name but a few....!!!i

I'm 40, which is weird because I pass for twenty eight in a dark room.

Loved Haysi. Did you know she is Limhal's sister, and used to be a life model at Wigan college.

Best 80's band for me was Bauhaus, followed by Siouxie, who were still going strong.
 
Never knew that about the girl from Haysi, Kate summat wasn't it? I have a real soft spot for all that early 80s stuff, but my 'serious' fave bands were/are The Smiths and The Waterboys. Certain songs from the early 80s used to just 'get' me, remember Duel by Propaganda? Oh I could go on all night....
 
Scritti Politti were my 'absolute' favorite at the time.

Also loved Bauhaus but prefered Creatures to the Banshees.

My cat is called Dolby in honour of Thomas Dolby because he's a Tom cat.
 
It's a bit shocking all these people on here still remember Bauhaus, Thomas Dolby, Blue Rondo A La Turk etc, it's a wonder John Foxx hasn't got a mention.:rolleyes:
 
When I was doing art foundation at Blackburn before moving away, the number of local 80's weirdos was quite small, myself included of course.

There was a Gary Numan clone in Clayton, or Harwood, a year older than me, I hope it's not you!;)
 
Sad thing is I can remember seeing them in 1980 very strange stage set:confused:

Mind you saw Bauhaus the same year, a lot more interesting.
 
No Garinda he was a mate though. Lived in Accy up till he was 20, used to drink in the Hargreaves with him, (and numerous other reprobates).

Lol, cool small world. I remember going to The Castle in Blackburn and he used to be there with his mate, a David Sylvian clone called Nigel.

I'm glad it's not you, as him and his mates from his Graphics course hated me for being a pretentious tosser, and held an exhibition outside King Goerges Hall pretending to mimic my work. Don't know where they got that idea from????:D
 
Hi StanAccy ;) Yes made it finally.

Gayle, I'm so impressed at your cat's name!! I'm in heaven on here! Think we might need an '80s musical memories' thread......or carry on posting on my introduction thread, then I look popular hehe :D
 
Blimey could have been 2 of them then. Cause the one I knew went to Accy College and then started work at some engineering company I think.

(Don't know what's scarier David Sylvian clone or Gary Numan, good job there wasn't a Phil Oakey one to give you a full set :))
 
Erm I think you'll find David Sylvian was once voted 'Most beautiful man in the world' and how I agree.......<swoon> Used to have a Smash Hits poster of him on my bedroom wall hehe
 
Maybe, but still find the idea of folk trying to be him scary:eek:

Maybe because I couldn't have looked like anyone at that age except possibly someone with sad hair in a band like Samson or Saxon:mad:

This thread is getting a bit scary. I did my art foundation at Blackburn as well. I'm guessing that as I'm 41 and you're 40 I was there the year before you.

OMG,but I did the pre foundation course as well, so we must have been there at the same time. We need to swap names, unless you were a hippy chick then, and I would have looked down on you.;)
