Okay, so before we headed to London I'd gotten to the end of the Bs in my Stupid I-pod A-Z thing . But a couple of days before London I broke my rules and went straight to That Petrol Emotion. Once back from London, still fresh from the wonder of seeing the band live once more , it was back on with TPE. (The rules are mine, therefore any and all excuses I make about the rules are allowed. So there.)...
a while ago, back in the dark dark days of february, i wrote about my love for the band that petrol emotion. well, according to the official forum it seems that the recent reunion gigs went down as well as everyone hoped. unfortunately, due to the usual boring adult commitments i was unable to attend any of [...]
Of all the bands I've loved there are possibly a group of 10 that I'd consider my all time favourites. And, like many of us of a certain age, a lot of these 10 are no longer together. There are a couple who I have no hope of ever seeing live for various reasons (Cabaret Voltaire, Ultra Vivid Scene, Propaganda) and there are some who I know will tour at some point (The Cure, Kraftwerk, Duran Duran,...
This was the holiday that wasn't really meant to be a holiday. Initially this year we'd only thought we'd be going away just once to Northumberland . But sometimes circumstances dictate otherwise. Instead we headed down to London for me to see That Petrol Emotion once more and Louise and Molly to go and see Grease at the theatre as a birthday treat. (York Station. Molly in charge of camera.) It was...
When I finished this one I thought it was the weirdest, most disjointed yet with obscure synthpop, Northern Soul, reggae, '90s indie rock, new Fugiya & Miyagi and one of the weirdest records of the year. (Wild Beasts.) It's also...
As surely everybody knows, The Undertones were a legendary punk band from Derry - most famous for Teenage Kicks. However in the 1980s two members of The Undertones were apparently living in Southwark - to be precise in Eastwell House, Tabard Gardens Estate, SE1. My source - a friend who used to live there - says that they were at that point members of That Petrol Emotion. So I assume that the people...
A while ago I gushed (there's really no other word for it) about one of my all time favourite bands getting back together and the prospect of new material and gigs. Like I've said before , That Petrol Emotion were not only my first ever gig but also, a few years later, one of my favourites. Playing the Hummingbird in Birmingham in support of Iggy Pop and they quite honestly (in my biased little opinion)...
Here is the new Swordfight Dot Org Party Podcast. I just grabbed a stack of records and threw on some jams one after the other and talked about the records a bit and had a big dance party in the parlour of my house. I say “wicked” a lot on this, and with good reason. ~ [...]

The best news I've had since I got the Carter tickets . That Petrol Emotion have reformed and are touring this year. Joyous. The best band I have ever seen live and touring again. Joy, joy, joy. There's a new website for updates. This is one of those things that I will make. Doesn't matter where they tour, when it is. I shall find a way. After all, they were my first gig . And you never forget that....
something that i have gotten wind of around here is that brits perceive american rock as superior to uk rock. evidently, american bands have better drummers, and they rock more intensely. or at least, this is my understanding of how the story goes. HOWEVER, i have always in the main preferred uk...
