is Morrissey singing in these songs?
- Thread starter Frankly Mr. Shankly
- Start date
I think that that is Ed Banger (from Ed Banger and the Nosebleeds).
Interesting quote in this webpage - Paul Morely got Morrissey's name wrong http://edbangerandthenosebleeds.com/aboutus.cfm?mpf=frame&
Looks like Moz briefly stood in when Ed and Vini Reilly left.
Stephen Morrissey and Billy Duffy ( The Smiths and The Cult)
I wasn't aware of them following us about, but they might well have. Yeah they did one gig at the Mayflower Club in Manchester before deciding it was a waste of time trying to follow in mine and Vinys footsteps. Obviously a talent less bunch of no hopers who would only notch up 10s of millions of sales pathetic. They were considered for Slaughter but were found not to be up to it ha ha. The Sweethearts yes they definitely were a right pair.

"...local legend Stephen Morrisson, who, in his own way, is at least aware that rock ‘n’ roll is about magic and inspiration..."

Yes that is definately Ed Banger on vocals!
Interestingly on that myspace page, Morrissey is the first friend on display..... (oh wait, that isn't Morrissey on that myspace is it?
)
The Nosebleeds played 2 gigs with Morrissey and Duffy - at Manchester Poly (supporting Slaughter & The Dogs and John Cooper Clarke) and supporting Magazine at The Ritz, both in 1978.

They never recorded any songs with Mozzer. Or if they did, the songs are on a battered cassette in someone's dead mum's attic with rat shite all over them. But as far as I know, he at least did write a few songs with them. The names "Peppermint Heaven," "I Think I'm Ready For the Electric Chair," and "I Get Nervous" come to mind. I think that's all. Would've loved to have heard those. Maybe he'll add them to the setlist for Swords of Refusal tour.
