Just back from the UK. I should do a post about the wonderful gig I attended in Manchester when I saw The Man from Delmonte reunite… what a wonderful concert!!!!

Another interesting Soundcloud account. This time by one called CravenDave.

He has uploaded seven recordings from a band he was in called The Cravens. They are in this setlist.

I am just going to repeat the information that is there. For the lazy ones. So the band hailed from Hull. They were active between 1991 and 1993 and played venues like the legendary Adelphi as well as the Humberside Poly.

I could find that at The Adelphi they played a bunch of gigs. On March 4, 1992 they played along Joyce and Sunshot. On March 20 of 1992 with The Dead Flowers and Lithium Joy. Then on May 23 of 1992 with Pulp and Milkfoat.

On Oct. 13, 1992 with the Scavengers. Then on Nov. 8 of 1992 and they were the headliners. The support band was The Stairs (don’t know them, any good?). And lastly on March 21, 1993 with Joyce and Skindive.

Other concerts I could find by them include on March 24, 1992, at T.C.s in Hull with Happy Shoppers and on October 24, 1992 with Lithium Joe at Ripon College.

The songs probably come from demo tapes. They are “It Really Doesn’t Matter”, “Tide”, “If I Had a Word (To Say to You)”, “In My Veins”, “I Don’t Care”, “Sad Man” and “What to Do”.

The only other thing I could find is that Dave was previously in a band called The Incredible Balloon Thieves. Some good songs there too. Maybe for the following post?

Any Hull indie fans remember them?
