Damidge

DAMIDGE"Damidge was formed by frontman Al Damidge in South London in 1987. In the band's 1990's peak, members included guitarist Alex Pym (Dream Machine/Zub Zub) bassist Roly Wynne (Ozric Tentacles co-founder) and Drummer Conrad Prince & Keyboardist Christopher "Seaweed" Lennox-Smith.Amongst their playing history was The Astoria & Brixton Academy (both supporting Ozric Tentacles) as well as a UK tour in 1994 supporting the Ozrics and Zion Train.Damidge recorded their debut album, 'Fax of Life' in 1994 at Foel Studios, North Wales. However the album was never released due to the band's breakup after Prince and Seaweed left to play with the Ozrics on their US tour. The demise of the band left its frontman in deep depression and Wynne to a tragic suicide in 1999." In 2013 Al reformed the band with Pym back on guitar, Mitch Lapute on bass and cos on drums. They recorded the EP, 'Limitation' the following year and are now playingcegularly throughout the underground scene."We've sent over 'Ritten In Rehab' and 'Nightmare Whiteflare' from EP, 'Limitation.' As well, 'Watching TV' from 'Fax of Life.' (Nightmare whiteflare also features on Fax of Life) https://damidge.bandcamp.com/releases THE WEIRD THINGS are a four piece band from South London.This band is made up of Simon who is the Bass player in CASE since 2013 and played guitar with The Riffs in the 80's...

Leila and Sam on backing vocals and the one and only Dick Crippen from Tenpole Tudor and King Kurt on guitar. It always helps when you have your producer in your line up.There is so much more we could put and go on and on that we did this and that but that's all in the past. All that matters now is what we do with THE WEIRD THINGS. http://www.theweirdthings.com/news.htm CHUCK SJ HAYChuck is a  Folk Punk Protest Writer hailing from Brighton, UK.
