1990s have featured previously a couple of times on the blog. The first was back in February 2015 when I made mention of them being by far and away the most local to Villain Towers. Their debut album Cookies (2007) featured a song about the area they are from and where I’ve lived since 1995:-
mp3 : 1990s – Pollokshields
I wrote about them again in June 2022, on the occasion of my 59th birthday, as their sophomore album Kicks (2009) paid tribute to our local bus service:-
mp3 : 1990s – 59
Both albums were on Rough Trade Records and were produced by Bernard Butler.
They never quite made it and eventually called it a day in 2012, not long after I caught them as an excellent opening act for Cornershop. However, the band did reform in 2022 and thirteen years after their last release, the third album, Nude Restuarant, was released by Last Night From Glasgow. Here’s one of its tracks:-
mp3: 1990s – Fassbinder Would Have Loved Techno
It turned out that most of the album had been completed as long ago as 2011 but had lain in the vaults waiting on the finishing touches.
