Television Personalities; had good reviews in my then fave music mag; although releasing on Seminal Twang along the likes of Half Japanese and Daniel Johnston; I only listened to them circa 1999 and felt it was something I did relate to; at that time the band no longer existed; shortly after Dan Treacy, its leader, disappeared; now he's back and his current songs are horrid.
Thee Headcoatees; read about them in a fansize that was quite quite good (Hyacinth - through which I got the Ranaldo/SY Social Power Performance for close to nix); I had one of their "early" 7"; I liked it a lot but never bothered purchasing an album until their very last.
The wonderful Flamin' Groovies; there was that journalist dropping their name wherever he could; if I'm correct he associated it to Supergrass's first. 8 years later I discovered the music.
And I'm Kuepper-infected too.
