Anyone hear like them? I'm on about the 80's band that did Party Fears Two and Club Country here, not some Missy Elliot producers. They sound like what Joy Division would have been if they had a much higher singer. Billy McKensie (hope I spelt that right) was a great singer, shame he comitted suicide. Try Sulk if you want to hear them. I'm downloading Fourth Drawer Down at the moment. Very dark, crazy in places, but a good album so far. |

fantastic band, and hugely underrated. |

Sulk is so freakin awesome, must-hear. The ''operatic'' vocals just wail steady, the beats are nuts too. I wasn't aware the singer killed himself, that just sucks. |

Yeah, bought a load of over-the-counter drugs and took an overdose 9 years ago after his mum died. Wonder what he'd be doing if he was still alive. |

Sulk is amazing! |

God, I really do love this band now. Check out the early Peel Sessions, this album is AMAZING. |

I'm not dissin missy, some of her stuff is great. It's just the Associates were probably way better than some producers for Missy Elliot. |

Yeah, just listening to "Club Country". No band now would have the balls and style to do something like this. |

Link didn't work cos it's nothing like what they were really like. |

I'm on about the performance, not the notes. Apparently during Sulk they filled the studio with balloons. Not for helium for Billy's voice, just for general fun. Also: "Rented guitars got pissed on" and rented drums were "filled with water". |

i'm getting "affectionate punch". another good band from the past. with great singer. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Yeah duh, sowwy. Yeah, you've got to listen to the albums to really get into what they were about musically. It's great that something like that could get onto TOTP though. "White Car in Germany" and "Q Quarters" are prob the best songs. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Holy shit, if you can find their set at The Marquee in 1980, download it asap, it's so frantic, hectic and powerful. Sulk-era the Associates were a wild animal. I'm very very tempted to upload this if enough people are interested. |

Everyone needs this. |

ONE TIME IN THE 80S BILLY MCKENZIE WHUPPED MY ASS AT BASKETBALL, THEN MARTIN FRY WAS ALL LIKE "FUCK YO COUCH NIGGA" POST PUNK NEW POP MOTHAFUCKAS I WAS MAD |

The lead singer is currently performing some hilarious stand up, check it out. |
||||||||

Sounds good. Must remember to check out. |

SAVED! |

I wouldn't take the piss out of a guy who committed suicide years ago. Such a shame, he was such an amazing singer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
HE SUNG LIKE A BITCH |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Sorry, I wasn't aware of that. That's sad to hear. The lead singer appears to be quite the happy fellow in those old videos so that is kind of surprising to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, he couldn't handle the death of his mum and overdosed on painkillers I think. It's a real shame cos he started to do some quite big collabs at that time and could easily now be a big name again. Associates are one of the most underrated bands of all time. End of. |
