hi roddy,do you know why the band never made any videos to stereotype or do nothing? maybe once the tour is over and you have all had a rest you could do them one day. dave

Whippit im told used to be a center forwrd who was very nippy (fast) Yep saw the Stray Cats at Rockin Gazs early 80,s and was sick as a parrot as they were doing something similar to the Tearjerkers but had it all sorted while i was still working it out. I got them on the bill for the Specials seaside tour but then their first single broke big and they bailed out of the tour.. but i dont think the mods ,n, skins would of give them an easy time back in them tribal days.
