(yes, I know the URL is a bit rubbish. I wasn't able to create it properly. I am cack-handed).

Nice research there. What do you think I should put on the family tree for pre-Pulp Russell? It would have to be his most recent band, would that be The Nightmares?

I believe it goes Isengaard --> Bath Bankers --> Rachel Tension and the Disruptives --> The Nightmares

First band being Sheffield based in 1979/80, Bath Bankers 80/81, Rachel Tension and Nightmares 82/83...

Do you know who else was in The Nightmares?

If memory serves, I had a discussion about this very subject on Friday night! A name does exist for someone else, but isn't yet, erm, public domain or whatever.

As in, somebody told me the name of one of the other members in 1997 but I'm not going to remember unless I go back to my old interview tapes.

That's right, yes. Oddly, you seemed to have more enthusiasm for said task on Friday. Maybe you need to pursue this task in a drunken manner which might stir up that enthusiasm again...?

Although I suppose I could just ask the bloke who I interviewed to remind me.

If you're still in touch with him, that'd be useful, aye. I'm happy to do the additional research/contacting again ala Bath Bankers though.

Re: Russell side-projects, given my accidental playing of Baby Birkin at DF on Friday (and the regular airings of Venini), surely the clientele are reading for some The Nightmares if we do manage to unearth anything...
