That Petrol Emotion
Personally I didn't rate them at Ally Pally in 1990 .... but tonight - up the road at Tufnell Park - at the Dirty Water Club there's a special, fans only, pre-festival warm-up gig, the first in more than a decade, by That Petrol Emotion.
There are no advance tickets available - sold 200 straight away just on the band's website alone. Anyone that wants to come should try to be first in the queue for tickets on the door when we open tonight. Entry is £10. 8.30pm-1.00am

Warming up for The Electric Picnic Festival in Eire. Reformed after the dissolution of The Undertones (again) as album sales didn't go as well as expected.
Sex Pistols playing also.
Tickets sold out before line-up finalised

I believe The Undertones are just giving it a rest for a while. They do have one gig lined up for London to promote the "new" Anthology album (which looks great with some demos, rehearsals, live versions etc.). Hopefully we'll see them again some time.MULLY wrote:Warming up for The Electric Picnic Festival in Eire.

Thats right Don - they are promoting the new CD - but after the Good Vibes gig the word was they were calling it a day and the O'Neill brothers were reforming The Petrol Emotion. Perhaps there will be further 'one-offs', but the disappointment that 'Dig..' didn't take off as expected definitely put paid to a full Undertone revival (as had been the initial intention).doninblack wrote:I believe The Undertones are just giving it a rest for a while.

Seen 'Anthology' on Amazon - the track-listing is really good and a must-buy for all 'Tone fans

I loved them, a fantastic live band who also made some great albums and with "Big Decision" and "Hey Venus" should have had a couple of huge hit singles!
For those of you who don't really know their stuff but are aware of The Undertones work, think of how songs like "You've got my number" would have developed with a bit more "ooomph" and a very bouncy American singer (Stevie Mack) - as they used to say at the time, "It's a guitar thing, you've got to understand!"
That Petrol Emotion - under achievers and proud of it (as it said on an old t-shirt I had)!

Thanks for the Febs feedback Arthurlee! No, I wasn't there I'm afraid.
Re: That Petrol Emotion
I'd seen them before Ally Pally and they were good, but yes, they're another band which were well below par at Ally Pally

Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings, and then I just got tired.

I was at their last gig in Derry. The bass player ended an emotional gig by holding up his hand, fingers out and asking "What's this?" after a stunned silence he said "5 of these!" giving us the bird. Not quite hose a but special all the same.
