Yes Arcwelder. Just brilliant and getting a good dusting down after a decade or so.
Anyone, anyone? Didn't think so.

I have one lp by them I was really into for quite a while,for some reason I never got anything else by them.

Agree.... Saw them at Touch n' go 25th Birthday party, despite being on first thing, 12pm on the sunday after big black, they were superb. Must get a few of there albums..hard to find , SHOPs take note no-one stocks them!!! Yeah could do the internet shopping thing but find it a drag... Listening to a bit of scratch acid here at work, WE LOVE DAVID YOW...

 

[Jim A. Morrish]

great band, seen 'em twice at atp over the years.

Credit where credit is due. Arc welding is cool.
Those little flying balls of molten metal can be a bastard if they hit your clothes though. Grrr.
The annoying thing though, is you cant see what you are doing until you make the arc... so, for fiddly stuff you have to be careful.

Ah.
Well.
That's my fault. I am really dull. Probably 70... maybe 75% less insteresting as yourself there.
You know... I mainly blame my sheltered upbringing.

While I am on the subject there, you can get arc welders, crank the voltage right up on the transformer, hold onto the clamp thing, turn it on, and point at people passing you. If they get close enough, a massive spark will jump off your finger, to the tip of their ear or something.
Hilarious so it is.

yeh, jacket made in canada was a feature of an old college radio show i was involved in. likewise, never got more into them, but can't think why...

[Jerry Twig]

nice to see there are some Arcwelder fans here then

 

[Nate Champion]

Yeah, I still haven't heard them. I've always wanted to though.

There was one album going second hand (cd) in the secret book and record store for 6 euro I think Carol. 'Everest' maybe?

Hey, Hokey no vinyl release for new giddy motors. Shocking.

 

[Jerry Twig]

wha? same with the new Nomeansno. The world has gone to shit.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Arcwelder are amazing.

[It needs saying people]

 

[flashback]

talk to me Hokey.

What album do I buy. I just bought the wrong Mastodon album there. I am all over the shop.

 

[Jerry Twig]

XERXES is a great place to start. Still in print from Touch n Go I'm presuming.
Get into it Flashback!

 

[Jerry Twig]

Got this on vinyl recently. It's criminally brilliant.

That Nomeansno got a vinyl release in the end though.

Finally listening to this band - that Why Do I Care song is addictive.Keeper. Can't quite place who they remind of. Very much early 90s abraded power pop fare.
