THIS is from Chris, and its a great one:
what band should have made it king, but never really took off."
i'll go first with screaming blue messiahs. they were like a cross between the clash and a Jim Thompson novel.
their first albums is an absolute classic (Wild Blue Yonder), and their second one (Bikini Red) kicks ass. you can find live shows on Youtube. Bill Carter is was of the most hypnotic wild-eyed lead singer and guitarist ever.
They had fans as different as Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, and ...me.
Bowie was such a fan he hired them to open for him during the Glass Spider tour.
I've interviewed Carter before. and he's residing in a coastal town in england.
i wish they got bigger, but i love that their my best kept musical secret.
so what are you yours?
the band that should have been bigger than it was -- take it away!

Hello Gutter friends! Hope everyone is fine this Saturday afternoon!
I got a call from my oldest son this morning that he’s in the hospital with possible pneumonia! He’s staying overnight.
I’m all by myself and I can hardly stand not knowing what’s going on.
Just asking for prayers for my son’s healing and recovery.
Thank you in advance. 🤗
