bilge pump and kaito are still around - click on the 'gringo' link in the news items on this site to find a London date for bp! dunno about the others though.

Re: whatever happened to the following bands?

Last I heard of them Tetra Slendour are People In Planes now. I THINK so at least, it was something one of the fellas from Biffy Clyro told my brother, so maybe not entirely accurate.

Thank fuck I don't know what Medium 21 are up to now, or indeed Rain Band!

I saw Bilge Pump are playing; Kaito I saw not to long ago.

Cheers for the tipoff about The Liars Lake MySpace thingy. The song on there seems pretty good on first listen. Looking forward to hearing more, I fucking loved Medium 21.

Re: whatever happened to the following bands?

why the fuck doesn't someone update the bands website to say so?

same goes for kling klang - how much effort does it take to let the couple of people that still care know what's going on?

I suppose that when the band get dropped and then split, there's no one to pay the webmaster anymore...

But i agree : this is really bad.
I think Small Victories split but could never find any confirmation anywhere...

Medium 21 & The Rain Band's label got shut down by Island. The Rain Band disappeared in a wave of bitterness, and Medium 21.. er.. well, Jon Clough (the singer) does some solo stuff now.

Rain Band and Medium were Simon Williams' of Fierce Panda fames fault, no? I took myself along to see the pair of them boring for England at Cargo a couple of years back. Sweet JESUS it was dull.

tetra splendor are indeed people in planes. they are rubbish from what i gathered when i saw them supporting art brut.

Buddha crush were great.
A shame their second single was never released ( i think... )

Re: whatever happened to the following bands?

Glad Rain Band split. I'm in the Fog Band, you see. We picked it as the dullest name we could think of. They must have had the same idea.

Bad luck mate, there's a band called The Fog as well.

Re: whatever happened to the following bands?

Yeah I knew that. I guess it's the price you pay for choosing a dull name!
