It was the first time I'd heard South African style guitar as played by Hallam years before Graceland and McClaren's "Duck Rock". Later, I was responsible for helping to raise money for Barnsley miners in the 85/86 strike and the Guitars played a benefit gig at the Trades and Labour Club on Beverley Road in Hull. The queue stretched half way down the road. We packed the place and sent three Transit vans of food to the now gone collieries at Fryston, Wheldale and Glasshoughton. The hairs on the back of my neck still stand up when I hear the opening riff of Good Technology. Without a doubt, one of the most underrated indie bands of the decade. Very special. Thanks for the memories folks! |

They were supposed to be supporting the Smiths but ended up headlining because the Smiths didn't turn up (they did TOTP instead). Just as well for the Smiths, as they would have been totally blown off stage. I did see the Smiths live a couple of time and they were shit. Red Guitars were a fantastic and very underrated band. So underrated that hardly anyone has even heard of them, which is sad. |

Couldn't agree more with the guy in guestbook who talked about you "blowing the smiths away"...that is the phrase I always use if I hear someone saying"I wish I'd seen the smiths"..I tell them about how you demolished them at the Dundee university gig I attended. You would absolutely be in my top 5 gigs of all time ( Hi-fidelity moment) along with (probably) U2 Zooropa tour, Prince at Celtic Park, Misty -In-Roots at Cambridge corn exchange,John Martyn & Martin Simpson. Hmmm, thats six! But I digress...I went with my friend Gerry. We'd never heard of you before then. The whole set was stunning, and I liked that there was no pretention, in what was a very pretentious period in music. Good Techology was massive,anthemic ,w a HUGE bass sound that kept it all "nailed down".I probably wept. We just kept turning to each-other and saying "they're SOOO GOOD !!! " The other most memorable moment :) was after the build-up / first two verses in "Dive"...we knew SOMETHING BIG was on the way...and then the big riff/chorus thingy crashed in ("the radio does play..."etc)& I remember my jaw dropped & us both looking at each-other just blown away! Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much. |
