Yes, I was talking to you. It's just that Miriam seems to know absolutely everyone, although she's just moved to London. Things got particuarly scary when I posted on my LJ saying how great Luxembourg were, leading to the discovery that Miriam knows Rob and Seaneen in real life! I think she was briefly in an early line-up of Nine Black Alps as well.

You can find Billy Ruffian on myspace here. Stephen is the singer. They're playing at Joshua Brookes next week.

I know Stephen and Miriam because we were all in Manchester band Stealth Munchkin, who you won't have heard of (I hope!).

Sorry for the late reply, I've been trying for ages and I kept crashing. This time lucky, I hope...

Stealth Munchkin. I like it!

I don't know many people really - I don't go out to as many gigs as I should either. That's cos I nearly always get drunk and therefore can't go out on a 'school night', as it were.

I know the singer from Omerta and a guy in a band called Delphin (who I think are really good but they are always busy working rather than making music), but that's about it. Ooh, I kind of know a guy in a band called Belief System too.

There, that's me out. Are you still a Manc resident yourself?

You wouldn't have done if you'd heard us!

I'm stuck in Lincolnshire at the moment, but I'm hoping to move to London.

I'm a final year philosophy student at King's College London, currently nocturnal and living in Sarf London, originally from Surrey. Not much more to say, really. I like music but don't do anything besides listen to it and watch it being played. And sing in the bath.

I'm currently obsessed with Pacman.

The Bridge Gang told me to sign up here on their myspace page. So I did. Hello!

If you're a Bridge Gang fan, it can't be wrong so hullo there!

The Bridge Gang told me to smoke cigarettes but I told on them to a teacher and it's naughty to be in a gang.

Welcome Bryony! You must be pretty damn clever if you're at Kings. They wouldn't let me in.

I <3 The Bridge Gang, so I'm sure we can be friends, Spazzy

I don't know about that, I think I peaked intellectually aged 12 and have been going steadily downhill ever since. In fact I have about 24 hours in which to write an entire dissertation because I'm a bit rubbish like that. Starting from...now!

oooh, you sound exactly like my friend. She was always very last minute about such things. I was sooo lucky, I managed to scrape through university without ever having to do a dissertation. Huzzah!

Uh-oh...

I should probably go and wake her up...

Hiya,

I'm female
Bio: Pub loving journalist but working as language teacher at the moment. Love music of all sorts and I miss IPA like hell....almost as much as I miss Irn Bru.

Welcome Kathleen!

Hello!

My names Melanie, er..im female
Im 20 yrs old
and living in North London

mini bio..

Dont know what to say! Been reading GIITV for a looong time. My preferred musical tastes are mainly guitar based - punk rock, post rock, indie rock, early 90s jingly jangly guitar pop, brit pop, punk, garage rock, art rock.....hmmm, rock mainly. You get the idea!

I do some work for FortunaPOP! label, mainly dealing with Finlay (who are amazing). Also a few other bits and pieces here and there...Im putting on a gig at The Windmill in June....I study Music Management at uni...but im likely to be leaving that quite soon to concentrate on stuff i actually want to do. Plus its about time i became a drop out.

I guess that enough really... Hello!

Hey!!

Finaly review coming to this site very soon,... Oh yeah and if your in London we have a little gig on at the Pleasure unit on Saturday;)

Excellent stuff, was gonna be chasing you up about Finlay this week, you saved me the trouble! hehe.

No worries, i am already there. Wasnt able to get to the last few Bridge Gang gigs, so i am determined to make it to this one! And i want to check out quite a few of the rest of thebands on the bill. looks like a good day.

Good Evening

I’m a 21 year old male called Kieran originally from Stafford but now residing in Birmingham. I work 9-5 (well ok I lie, 8 to 4) in the typical soul destroying office environment and then in the evenings attempt to play guitar.

I do rather enjoy listening to music as I sing along badly and extremely loud, much to the neighbor’s annoyance. They can often hear me wailing along to such greats as Why? to Talking Heads through to The Fall and Ween, plus a host of rubbish in between.

When I’m not making a racket, I enjoy like most people of my age getting exceedingly drunk. Once in a sober state I like eating cous cous, Reading the BBC History Magazine, Listening/watching Blue Jam/Jam and playing air drums when nobody is looking.

Before the age of ten I wanted to grow up to be Freddie Mercury, sadly this didn’t happen.
