I once saw them in a band called specter, or something like that.They were terrible. Complete shite.

It was at a smiths/moz night called 'this night has opened my eyes' in NYC in May, 2001.

This band did a set, although why the organisers invited them in the first place is beyond me. It would be really difficult to find a group of people who were more ANTI-Moz.
The singer also came out with a snide between-song comment, aimed directly at the crowd. He said, " What's this we've been hearing about your mate then?"
By ' your mate' he obviously meant mozzer. It went over the heads of the americans who probably didn't pick up on it. But I heard it , and looked on as rourke and joyce sniggered and grinned like the morons they are.

Anyway, the DJ's came back on and it turned out to be a britpop night with a smiths/moz leaning. I would say about half the records played were smiths/ moz.

The band stood around the rest of the night like superstars, smugness oozing out of every pore. They nearly put me off my beer. Nearly, but not quite.
Joyce even found his way onto the dancefloor, twirling about to a blur song ('country house' I think). A sickening bunch of chancers.

So if it is them playing in Oldham - don't go.

I hope they are. Oldham is a fantastic place because I live there. I must admit though that Specter were shit but Andy and Mike said they were shit anyway so hopefully they have learned from their mistakes.

it rivals wrexham for crapness
