Fairbairn Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 My mate and I were talking over the weekend about support bands we've seen and we got to talking about a specific band we seen a couple of times. They were pretty unmemorable music wise (generic indie rock) however they stood out because the drummer either had no arms, one arm or a similar disability. I'm pretty sure we seen them supporting The Fratelli's at the Barras and Franz Ferdinand at The Academy but I can't for the life of me remember their name and it's driving me mental. They also used to do the pub circuit in Glasgow so I'm hoping someone knows who I'm talking about. I'm sure the name has a number in it. something like Saturn 5, but Google has been no help!!

Toepoke Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Saw them at the Merchant City festival a few years back. Remember thinking they were half decent, then being astonished when I noticed the armless drummer. The name escapes me also. Think you might be onto something with the "5" though...

It’s the official song of the Blackhawks NHL team. When they’re on the tele it’s all that’s pumped out on every juke box. Does my napper in. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chelsea Dagger comes on and I have had more than a thimble of wine I turn into a fookin eejit . I hope its no still top of the hit parade in Tel Aviv 🙄 On 9/25/2018 at 7:17 PM, Toepoke said: Thought it was something textbookish.

There’s a lot worse who have made it big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
