Heard Nelson on the radio a few weeks ago on an indie show presented by what sounds like rejects from the used car roadshow - liked it, went out and found some stuff of their in the random releases shop and then bought it...and now they are on the cover of artrocker!!!! which is bad as a) it was the cover of artrocker and therefore supposed to be like the coolest band in the whole of scenesterhipsterdom and B) this low-rent Pete And Geoff that i had come across who'se banter i interprepted as a general sub-mark & lard uselessness unless talking about the monocrome set might actually know what they are talking about....damn...wish i knew who they were!!!

I take it that's not the same Nelson who hit number one in the USA in 1990 - two very ugly, long haired, weird twins.

after googling their video - :lol: :lol:

 

its a pity that that its some increadibly so nang damn cool French act and not them on the cover of artrocker...esp when sometimes reading artrocker can seem like somekinda Nathan Barley/Charlie Brooker p*** take as it is - tho i guess that would be just too silly to do something like that...

 

:lol: :lol:

 

 

Btw do you think this is what Guillermo del Toro was thinking when he hired Luke Goss as Hellboy II's Prince Nuada :lol: :lol: - tho obv dodgy late 80s/early 90s hair metal band might be more scary than any elf dude from the beasty underworld or any wide-mouth vampires :lol:
