#118 and From Another Side 02

Still on the all Australian run here, kicking off with a non album track for The Reels, then the debut for Tall Tales and True, latter day Little Murders, Howard I Know's firsty and a Double a-side on Phantom from Flaming Hands ( the other side "It's Just That I Miss You" and more Flaming Hands will be over on From Another Side #2 ).

I have to confess to being a little hazy on the details for Non Stop Dancers ( other than I do remember one other later single at least which was on EMI from memory ). Then it's some more Hunnas from Human Frailty - they will also be over on From Another Side,  with not one but two different 12" mixes of Say Goodbye.

Carnival Oof Lost Souls were from Sydney, again a hazy patch in the memory banks for these guys, but I reckon I'll go with my gut feeling which is telling me they had about 3 singles and in the end were very dancey....if I'm not mistaken. If I am mistaken well I am a goose, but that's nuthin' new.

Then we have the 2nd single from The Expression's self titled debut album. Something about this band always reminds me of Gavin Wood on Countdown and I can still hear him bellowing out the intro to this and WIth Closed Eyes. Don't get me wrong I love Gavin and recently read this great interview with him. ( Although I only wish they'd asked him about his acting appearance in "Houseboat Horror" ).

Our journey today  here ends with The Someloves and their 3rd single.

But the journey does continue - as I keep plugging  - more of these artists and related stuff over on the accompanying "From Another Side" blog.
