my blackened soul rejoices in the almost overbearing fear and despair
that lurks within the heart of the prolapse maelstrom.
quiver, mortals.

I remember Donald Ross Skinner bumming the little bloke from Fantasy Island whilst singing The Spider.

I have a picture painted by Prolapse at one of their gigs (might have ben all-dayer in Kings Cross Arts Depot). And one of the hand-painted vinyl copies of 'Pointless Walks...'. Another of their side-projects was Cha Cha 2000. They are really bloody sadly missed.

NB Scottish Mick used to do phone-ins on the John Peel show with updates on Kingstonians football team. I think at the time they were sponsored by Cherry Red, though whether this means they played in a Prolapse strip, is unclear.

What you got a shiny face for?
What you wearing those glasses for, you slimy git?
Your parents must've hated you to call you "Kim"...

Let this most odd thread live on forever!

I met Mick (the singer) in Paris last week and he said that Mick (the bass player ?) had just got married to someone he met in a pub in the town they used to live in (Lester I think he said). His wife's name is Doreen, and she's quite a bit older than him, but she used to live in Paris.

Scottish Mick has now joined a band with the guy from Cable but finds it difficult to break away from his famous "rants" when performing. He has also opened a ceramic monkey shop in Oslo selling all the simian pottery he has collected from charity shops around the East Midlands over the years. He often just sits there, staring at his monkey pottery, thinking about the time the little fella from Comet Gain bit him on the ear.

I met Scottish Mick in Coalville once at a Hugh Grant convention, he had whale bones sown into his y-fronts and was holding Lionel Ritchie's clay head in the air like a trophy.

Is it in Leicester still? Can't you do one in London? Or can't I? Hello Turk!

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 9 January 2004 14:46 (twenty years ago) link

Pat from Prolapse has joined a Felt tribute band called "I thought there would be bungalows for the popstars". They are making their live debut at this years Pinkpop festival in Holland.

Meanwhile Geordie Mick's new band How Many Means Bakes Five plough their way through their "leicestershire and surrounding areas" tour. The world's first bongo metal outfit play the Lutterworth Pig and Playpen at 9pm this evening.

That is all.

― Sidney Manic, Friday, 16 January 2004 13:44 (twenty years ago) link

They opened for stereolab in 1996, covering "eat yrself fitter" much to my delight.

Doesn't matter if this is true or not, but it should be.

― Liar (Liar), Friday, 16 January 2004 15:48 (twenty years ago) link

I only heard Prolapse once, a live gig on Radio One. I'd like to buy someof their records but where should I start. Are there any rareties I should be looking out for ?

― James Bellamy, Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:14 (twenty years ago) link

rarities?! just buy "the italian flag" and your life will be measurably improved

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:28 (twenty years ago) link

rarities? i suppose things like easter-eggsplotion or shared stereo...?

― AndyBarratt (shooz), Friday, 23 January 2004 16:25 (twenty years ago) link

Aaah!! Akin to the fucking weasel. Classic.

― sid, Friday, 30 January 2004 13:05 (twenty years ago) link

Get 'Pointless Walks to Dismal Places'. End of story.

― Mog, Friday, 30 January 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago) link

It is merely the start of the story. For rarieties, check out their cover of Gang of Four's "Love like the Anthrax" double a side with "When Space Invaders Were Big". It grooves like a clive barker murder spree!

― Pripton Weird, Friday, 30 January 2004 14:15 (twenty years ago) link

A cover of Prolapse's "Fear of Teeth" will be the basis of this years goth revival.

Its been covered by new Nightbreed band "I DREAM OF SPIRES" and rocks in a dark place, and is also featured on the soundtrack to the seminal movie, Gypsy 83. You read it here first kids!

― Boris the Menace, Friday, 30 January 2004 14:28 (twenty years ago) link

That was a great single indeed Mr Weird. Oh, the Love Train single they did was fab - 'TCR' - didn't they get sent to New York to do a video for it or something? I have the promo video for 'Pull thru Barker' - v odd in an art-student's-worst-nightmare kind of way...

Even more so than before.

The Fear of Teeth cover is also on the Nightbreed compilation
"Where is the Lateral Cutaneous Nerve of the Forearm?" due out next month.

― wee joni ghostie, Friday, 30 January 2004 16:23 (twenty years ago) link

For rarieties, check out their cover of Gang of Four's "Love like the Anthrax" 7"

Green vinyl!!

― Shooz (shooz), Friday, 30 January 2004 17:08 (twenty years ago) link

I have the ultimate Prolapse rarity-a tape of the Italian flag out-take "The frontispiece of the plough", given to me by Geordie Mick in return for a bottle of strong white cider.

― Richard Myxoematosis, Friday, 30 January 2004 22:56 (twenty years ago) link

Disaster!

How Many Means Bake Five split up live onstage at a gig at the Uppingham Working Man's Club, whilst arguing over whether they should do a bongo metal version of The Wurzels, 'I'm a cider drinker'. Geordie Mick is planning a solo project called Conveyer Belt and has already recorded a 16 minute 'shoegazing' version of Mel and Kim's Showing Out (Get Fresh at the Weekend).

The rest of the Fez wearing collective have teamed up with John Hogg (ex Incredible Cigars man) and changed thier name to Scud Muffin. They are set to record an albums worth of bongo metal madness in the very near future.

Watch this space!

This has all just reminded me that I had a ticket to see Prolapse and Cha Cha Cohen at the Garage years ago, and my mum wouldn't let me go and I had to throw the ticket away. I was only about fifteen or something. Seven or so years on, I'm still bitter as fuck.

― Kate Jane Connolly (fixitgirl), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 16:42 (twenty years ago) link

Prolapse Rarities: I have the Prolapse DEMO Tape, AHA! Is that worth five million quid yet? This one has the first 30 seconds WIPED by the sound of me, PISSED, trying to play it when I came home from the pub, and so is even MORE valuable.

I also have VERY MUCH pre-Prolapse material by Tim The Celebrity Drummer, as he MADE me listen to it.

― MJ Hibbett, Wednesday, 11 February 2004 23:00 (twenty years ago) link

Hello MARK!

Do you STILL play 'Bands From London are SHIT', now that you LIVE in LONDON?
