POO; Ride

April 03

Mark Gardener played his first live show in over two years last month and was joined by former Ride bandmates Andy Bell and Loz Colbert towards the end of the gig for a short set of old Ride songs. Mark was playing at Truck Records' regular Trailerpark club night at the Cellar as a warm-up to a string of American and Canadian dates later in the month. It was his first foray into the live arena since the demise of The Animalhouse and showcased a number of new songs he has written for a solo album. In front of a full house, including many die-hard Ride fans, Mark started his et with three new songs, `What You Get', `Beautiful Ghosts' and `Turn', as well as a solo version of Ride classic `From Time To Time'. Then he was joined by Robin and Joe Bennett from Goldrush for a version of his debut solo single, `Magdalen Sky', originally released on Shifty Disco 1997. With his band then swelled by other members of Goldrush, Mark played a cover of The Band's `Makes No Difference' as well as two more new songs, `To Get Me Through' and `Snow In Mexico'.

Until they were spotted in the crowd though, no-one suspected that Andy and Loz would be joining Mark on stage. Indeed Andy, now the bass player for Oasis, was only in Oxford by accident that night, after mix-up with his own gig dates. He sang `Vapour Trail' with Mark playing guitar and Loz on drums before Mark returned to lead vocal duties for `Dreams Burn Down' and `In A Different Place', with Andy on guitar.

Ride previously reunited briefly at the end of 2001 - with bass player Steve Queralt - for a one-off studio session as part of a tribute to Sonic Youth for Channel 4.

those fuckers. those fucking fuckers. ::QUAKES WITH ANGER AND ENVY::

I hate Truck even more now, with fucking nameless revulsion and jealousy and OH I HATE THEM I HATE THEM SO MUCH, THOSE FUCKING WORTHLESS FUCKERS GET A RIDE REUNION

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH.

This makes me so angry I can't even speak.

:-(

:-(((((((((((((

Anything released after the "Twisterella" single doesn't exist. ;-)

Carnival of Light was boring dadrock.

::we now return you to your regularly scheduled vitriolic outburst of hatred::

DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!

POO of both albums seems impossible. Carnival is probably the easiest: 'Only Now'. The melancholy!
GBA: 'Twisterella'? 'Chrome Waves'? 'OX4'? 'Leave Them All Behind'? Don't know...

And I'm so downloading that live gig when I get home.

I gots no axe to grind with "Carnival of Light," of which I dig portions, and I happen to think "Black Nite Crash" is acceptable fake-Stooges...

I like the intro to Chrome Waves plenty.

In all seriousness, "I Don't Know Where It Comes From" is incredible.

The "Leave Them All Behind" single is the greatest thing ever, you've got LTAB, a nicely roughed up version of "Chrome Waves" and "Grasshopper".

Tracks 3->6 on the first album

Twisterella

I got Mark Gardener to play "In a Different Place" when he came to Detroit earlier this year. One of these days I'll post the pics from that on my website.

--The remasters, though, any comment on their improved headroom?

'Vapour Trail' for me. My tape of 'Nowhere' died from too much rewinding back to that song.

you're not alone, "Taste" is the best one, with "Seagull" a close second.

and also I'm off to buy a cd or two to replace my v old vinyl copies.

I still wished I'd done something to Andy Bell.. for being in Oasis and all that.

DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE... (sorry.)

HMV in Uxbridge = NOT ONE RIDE CD!!!!!!!!!!

Big swirly dreampop guitars, angelic harmonies, long greasy hair and a drum sample from "When the Levee Breaks."

I am so easily pleased...

Cross-post... whoa...

I was telling Goldrush to DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. If Chapterhouse want to help, they're certainly welcome to!

;-)

It looks like he's bleached what's left of his hair. What is he THINKING?!?!?

I agree, Loz cannot be praised enough. But didn't he join some other band recently that I can't remember now? Someone said...didn't Colonel Poo say he played with Jesus & Mary Chain when they reunited?

Here's the rest of that gig:
Part Two = Dreams Burn Down, Perfect Time, Paralysed
Part Three = Vapour Trail
Part Four = Drive Blind, Taste, Nowhere, Decay (in reality I think they did Seagull as an encore, but the tape ran out before that)

Good lord in heaven, Nasty. So many goodies! I'm not sure I deserve this, but thanks.

Vapour Trail is so , so good.

I was too busy with the Azzerrad type bands at the time and fell for the shoey scene that celebrates and missed Ride 'part from 'Leave them all behind'. And missed Swervedriver too you jour no cunts. My bullshit detector well off

the drummer is such a fucking tease.

Excellent stuff

What I'm trying to say is that I fell for the NME's description at the time and avoided most of that music.

FFs , it was only 67 years ago

When the drums kick in on "vapour trail", oh man. love how the drums sound all over that album

Alan Moulder rules so hard

he really does

I have managed to completely wear out Vapour Trail, I'm all about Sennen these days.

Seeing that ACPG movie made me dig out all these records - oh and Swervedriver too - love them so much, it's all about the drums.

Though I won't say how weird it was seeing Mark Gardener and Gaz Supergrass sitting next to each other on the panel both insisting "no, really, we're not the same person, we're both here!"

oh HELLO

Love this stuff but bonus DVDs do nothing for me. Now, if they included a digital download for the live gig too...
