Lithium and Arapaho! Yes! I made a point to collect all the Lithium albums, and tapes, and tdk sessions and so on. I met dave Owens in around 2001 and we became mates. he then hooked me up with all the Lithium stuff of ever ? really amped.

Anyone remember Ethel My Love? Urban Creep? Maybe a few years later, but Sunways, Sublemon, The LED? Henry Ate?
I know our new Mr Selmer-Olsen remember Candy Fly ?

Yes, the band was called Black Diamond and a chick named Helene Henn was the vocalist. People used to get confused between Black Diamond and The Diamond Dogs (whom I played for back then).

I remember The Awakening. The vocals were unbelievably good.
Battery 9 was a favourite of mine while at school.
I also remember The Flying Circus. Still have their CD Favourite Jinx. The signed copy I had sadly got lost.

Ja, they were 80's and early 90's. Wendy Oldfield on Vox. Jorge Bastos played drums for a while.

Another good band from the late 90's was Not My Dog.

Mean Mr. Mustard really only got going from 2000 onwards after their 2nd album was released. Saw them live many times, geez, they were playing everywhere at one stage. They were very tight live and Mark Beling, Leon Shaw and Hylton Brooker are all awesome musicians. They were the first band I ever saw that had a concert-size PA with their own sound-engineer at every gig and roadies to haul the gear. Leon told me that for 8 years, he didn't carry as much as a cable.....lucky bastard.

Rubber Soul were huge in Cape Town at one stage - =
