Ye haa - good call , the band is Flowered Up and the tune is
called "Weekender" ,released 1992, a 13 minute version came
out as a single,just as the band were falling apart , Andrew
Weatherall also did a remix of it , released on 12"
(Heavenly/Sony) , the band are now talked of through
misty eyes by people who were part of the 89/90 explosion.
This is one of our all time favourite tunes @ 4th world ,
Flowered Up were one of the first "rock" bands along with
the Happy Mondays and Stone Roses to cross into club culture
, even playing at legendary acid house club "Land of Oz" ,
their first single "It's On" (Heavenly 1990) it a fuckin
classic , appeared on the cover of NME before they had even
released any vinyl , "Weekender" for me defined a time in my
life when as the songs says "No work Just Paaaarty Paaarty!!".
The video as far as I know is still avaliable.
