terris

i am djing at a welsh themed night on friday and want to play a song by terris.
however, i can't find anything on soulseek or via google. can anyone send me an mp3?

preferably 'last october' or 'fabricated lunacy'.

are they as bad as i remember them?

      • I've got something from an NME comp too

        I think it's Searching For the Switches. It's not very good if I remember correctly.

  • Found it

    It is Searching For the Switches. I can send it to you if you like. Like I said though, it's not very good.

    • I liked Terris

      and still listen to their album occasionaly. I also have a 8 track disc of songs that were going to feature on their new record. Its good stuff. If anyone is interested them let me know and i'll email mp3s or something.

    • is that the one

      that sounds like 'slight return' by the bluetones?

      i saw them on the coldplay joint tour. my friend claimed that terris would be massive and coldplay would go no where.

  • The best thing about them..

    .. was the Twin Peaks sample on the debut EP. Says it all really. The singer was horrible.

  • i could be wrong but

    wasn't the 'co-headline' tour people are claiming above an NME tour? it was with JJ72, even? if so, i wouldn't even count that as a 'joint headline' tour.

    • no

      it was a Terris / Coldplay rotating headliner tour. I almost went to the Tunbridge Wells Forum leg!

      • yes

        i see i perhaps woz wrong as guessed

        BUT! i do remember coldplay playing first on an nme tour around that time. and i'm pretty sure some LOL-worthy headline was involved.

        and a couple (?) of years later i remember going to see terris at dingwalls and falling in love with their support band (mull historical society) instead. oops.

          Amen

          • hot damn, losing my marbles in my old age.

            i know coldplay did an nme tour OR SOMETHING. maybe not terris then. i was living in aberdeen at the time so we're talking pre-2001, yes.

            anyway, does anyone remember the co-headline oasis/whiteout tour? :-)

        • I'm

          pretty sure the NME tour your thinking of was:

          Shack
          Les Rhythms Digitales
          Idlewild
          Coldplay

          I went to the Bristol Anson Rooms show. I can't remember if it was good but I remember thing Shack were shit.

            • now

              extra points if anyone can tell me who symposium played with a year or two earlier. not sure if that was an 'nme bratbus' thing or a melody maker thing or wot but it was certainly some 'package' tour of some description. geneva may or may not have been involved. thnx.

              • Geneva headlining

                then Tiger, then Symposium, with 3 Colours Red opening.

                I went, it was well good!!!

  • Cannibal Kids was the best song

    some of it was utter tosh. But this one was good!

    If I was at my house I'd email it to you but I'm not.

  • I saw them support At The Drive-In

    at the Astoria once. They were really toss. As were the other support that night, My Vitriol. All helped to make atd-i that much better though.

    What other Welsh songs are you going to play? Mclusky!
