Band

It appears that I know the members of a band. Actually know them, though I haven’t seen either the two lads for a year or so and the band, ever. I shall have to investigate a little more.

They perform under the rather odd name of Brides of Kong1 and contacted me over on MySpace. Both are erstwhile denizens of the quondam top comics spot, Comic Showcase.

Other than [livejournal.com profile] telemeister, my only other real brush with anyone in the biz was years ago when I used to go drinking with Moose, one-time New Model Army chap and more recently a paramedic, if his website is to be believed. He disappeared suddenly one day and turned up on telly a few weeks later playing bass for The Damned.

He never responds to emails; I guess he thinks I want to borrow money or something. Or he can’t remember who I am. Actually I’d just like a pint and a natter like in the old days, but there you are.

1It occurs to me that [livejournal.com profile] failing_angel probably knows them, too. Ant and Brian (I think it's Brian)2.

2In fact, if I'd read their message properly, I shouldn't have got all mixed up and needed to be told below that it's Paul not Brian. D'OH!!

Oh please call him Brian.

It's one of the Pauls - this one's a Hickman, also does stand-up.
I seem to recall that either Ant or Paul work at Orbital comics with Nev.

Oops.

Other than thinking that everybody is called Brian or Bryan as I get older and more ego-centric, I have no idea why I thought he had the same name as me.

You may be thinking of Mr Dyer who went off to join the circus or the Foreign Legion work in a cocktail bar.
Glasses, dark hair (sensibly cut) etc.
