The Macc Lads
They seem to be quite popular with people around here.

I'm quite pleased to announce that 'The Mocc Lads', Macclesfields finest tribute to Macclesfields finest band, have decided to reform and may be touring again soon.

Anywhere beyond the realms of Macc?

Quite likely
They did quite a successful tour last time round.

If you have somewhere in mind I can always ask nicely for you

Newcastle

I never saw the Macc Lads. The missus did though, several times.

Carried on playing until early 2000's I think
But that was sporadic.

We met Stez Stix in a pub in rural Northumberland a couple of years ago. I think we embarassed his kids.

It hasn't, I've checked.
Will keep looking though.

The mind boggles
So, there's a tribute band to a band that did pisstaking covers of other people's songs? I think the Macc Lads are/were very funny, this isn't a criticism.

I might form a tribute band to that awful cunt Capt Mature-model from /talk's hideously gay middle aged Pink Floyd tribute band. Anyone want to join? Six-fingered Grendels from the fens not allowed.

Hahaha
I'll be Syd Barrett from his fat, addled, middle-aged period where he lived as a recluse and made DIY shelves from christmas decorations.

Excellent - the band is coming together.....
I'll be thunderously dull and monumentally pompous shovel-handed Neanderthal Roger Waters, from the pinnacle of his mediocrity The Final Cu(n)t.

I just found the "Artist Radio" function on Spotify.
Oh man, this is so awesome, there I was, minding my own buisness*, when I clicked on that button, and suddenly offspring turned into loads of bands like offspring.

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY, BEST DAY OF MY LIFE YET, NO, NOT YET, EVAH.



* As a jew, it's "world media corperation", "world bank of banks"**
** As a b3tan, it's also "Em-Paul-ooo-oooo***-ium" too.
*** That's with roo-ooo-ter.
