Like the rest of us then you probably loved Miki

[img]http://i26.tinypic.com/10z7jac.jpg[/img]

We used to trawl around the Camden scene in the early 90s with that crowd (a couple of elasticas, Echobellys, The Family Cat and Louise Wener from Sleeper)
I still think Lush's song Ladykillers is THE seminal feminist rock song OF ALL TIME. Imagine my surprise when I found her working in marketing up at IPCs head office a couple of years ago.
I was living in a housing assosciation town house in Belsize Park at the time and in the flat above were Harriet Wheeler and Dave Gavurin of The Sundays - very Bohemian we were 8) 8) 8) used to have roof parties, the lot!
I See Miki once a year at the editorial awards and we catch up - A while back she said that Lush were looking to go back on tour but I don't know if they ever did

I lived in Camden in 92-93 while at college and so must have bumped into you in the Good Mixer at some point! I was more grunge than shoegazer though. One of my male friends was absolutely obsessed with Miki - he dyed his hair to match hers :roll:

Justine from Elastica was an occasional guest critic on my architecture course. She once told me I hadn't done enough work - bit much I thought given their output.

Very interesting post. Our paths must have crossed more than a few times, Huw, because I saw The Family Cat countless times, everywhere from the Jug in Doncaster to the Old Trout in Windsor. Fantastic live band whose quality never quite transferred onto vinyl. Great T-shirts, and a nice bunch of lads as well. Surely the best band to have come out of Cornwall?

Saw Lush quite a few times as well - from quite early on right up until shortly before Chris Ackland's (sp?) suicide. Always preferred Emma myself (even if she was a Spurs fan).

And did I mention that I bumped into Harriet and Dave at the Tate Modern recently? Another quality live act.

Awesome - The Family Cat were THE biggest band never to make it big - saw them hundereds of times and I've still got a demo cassette that Fred gave me before they recorded their first album which has got unreleased tracks on it :D

Its the little things in life that sometimes make the biggest impression. I was in Harriet's kitchen once when she was making us dinner and she was singing 'here's where the story ends' - which in THAT voice is about the sweetest thing you could ever imagine. A few months later she was singing it for thousands with the band at the Union Chapel but I'll always remember her solo 'roast potato mix' with the most affection :D

They always seemed to be hampered by sh1t production, particularly on the first album and the first couple of singles - arguably their best stuff. I remember taking a couple of friends along to see them somewhere in Kemp Town - these two were highly sceptical after hearing the records, but within a couple of bars of ''Final Mistake' they'd made their way down the front and were going mental - instant converts!

It's only relatively recently that my Cat T-shirts got so threadbare and obscene that they were relegated to car/bike-cleaning duties. They gave me years of good service - loads of people would come up and ask about them or have a Family Cat story to share.

I'm sure Travis fans would have had similar experiences :wink:
