More outstanding British post punk here. Bamboo Zoo formed in Manchester with three of their members coming from the ashes of I.Q. Zero originally hailing from Blackburn. I'd loosely describe much of their sound as a mix of The Nightingales meets The Monochrome Set with some moodier elements drawn in at times like say Crispy Ambulance perhaps. One of the guitar players is quite adept at using the tremolo bar to create odd wobbly legged guitar tones. Bamboo Zoo also have a John Peel session floating around out there. If anyone knows where to locate, I'd be much obliged.

I always really liked IQ Zero ever since I bought the Manchester Collection LP back in '79/'80, and their subsequent singles. Never heard these Bamboo Zoo records though, so thanks a lot Dane.

ReplyDeleteHello! I hope you do not mind but I decided to post your site:

I used, "Blogger: ABERRANT ADHERENTS" as your blog title.
I hope this is fine with you. However, if you'd like me to change the title or remove it completely, contact me at georgetta-luckett@gmx.net. Thank you so much.
Many thanks for sharing the album and single, I just came across the Emerging track on the recent Critical Mass compilation by Cherrystones and was eager to hear more and I was not disappointed - why these guys are not more well known is a mystery.
