Does anybody remember that band.
They were Boo's friends I think, they even made some handclaps on Giant Steps or somewhere. 
I only had Their last album "Highball Me" which is excellent and I found two others during hollydays which are great also.
I think they splitted some time ago, another sad story... |

I never had any of their albums or anything, but yes, I still remember them. Moose is also credited on the Eggman (Sice's solo thing) album so maybe you're right, Grumble. You should ask that from Mr Carr...

I love them !!
I have their 4 Lp's
The first one "x,y,z" was a revelation for me...
An incredible way of writing pop music...
If you want their songs, just use msn, and i'll send you the 3 LP you don't have...
1992 "x,y,z
1993 "Honey bee"
1995 "Live a little love a lot"
before highball me !!
In the same category I recommand you "Animals that swim..."
excellent pop band !!

I can't resist telling you that I was in the studio with them when they did 'this river'. It's my favourite song of theirs. We wuz all high as monkeys if I recall....

Crap. And I don't even know that song.

Birdman, moose and Ride are not really in the same category.
Pure pop, versu Noisy then pop rock.
of course just in the middle of it you can find...............
Brave Captain ! ! !

| Actually, I do think the two are related to some extent. After all, they both were considered part of the shoegazer movement (my favourite type of music by the way). Earlier Moose in particular has some gazey elements. But of course it lacks the noisy guitar parts, which is a pity. |

Ride.
Fantastic band, Going Blank Again was one of the finest Albums of the 1990's. Twisterella is one of those melty pop moments.
Kind of went patchy after that, although their final one, Revolver had it's moments. Shame Andy Bell ended up doing rythm guitar in Oasis, but it's a living I suppose.
Anyone who hasn't heard them, try and get your hands on the Box set they released. It has a live disc recorded at Reading in 1992 which is wonderful. A band at the top of their game.
Then get all the albums!!
(hint: I have them on mp3 )
