Yes, you're quite right Bill - I've never heard of them but I've just asked one of my manc friends (i'm a frequent visitor to Manchester these days) and he knew straight away.
I'm still waiting at the side of that river but no sign of those enemies yet. Something to look forward to.
Discovering music is strange - I've only just come upon a band that I absolutely adore already and seemingly they've been around for ages - The Brian Jonestown Massacre. I found them after talking to a poet at his reading who had them on his t-shirt.
Cheers
Tim
