Re: Elastica
haha nicely done! They were alright at the time even bought one of their albums but can't say I'd play it much now - It was incredibly 90s..... imitating the 70s of course!

I liked Justine...quite a bit!!!!
Re: Elastica
I remember the NME saying something like The Stranglers should feel grateful that a band as cool as Elastica are playing one of their tunes.

Re: Elastica
Terrible.
I did like Menswear though, who also ripped off the Stranglers a bit.

Re: Elastica
I thought that the first album was really good, but after that they went downhill.
I too liked Justine quite a lot.
The only good thing about Damon Albarn (i hate Blur) is Justine!!

Re: Elastica
Great run of singles and a good first album - like them alot (still do).
Menswear were another band that had a great first couple of singles but went downhill very fast (including their album - which is a disappointment).
A lot of the 'Britpop' bands shone brightly for a while - Sleeper, Mansun, Kenickie, etc..

Re: Elastica
Was it Menswear that did "Happy Shopper" ? Some fantastic nuggets and B-Sides buried away in the 90s. Kenickie's B-Sides were always good fun.

Re: Elastica
Yeah , quite liked them, remember first seeing them on the Word and thinking how much Justine F reminded me of a female version of a certain Mr Cornwell

I remember Reni from the Stone Roses saying on Radio 1 that this sounded like Nice & Sleazy
I think it sounds 999's Emergency too
