On 10th July I had two of the Ultimate bands that had toured together earlier on in the year play The Buzz Club (plus as yet undecided and handwritten first on!).
A German tv station had got in touch with me at work and asked if they could film Sidi Bou Said, I figured since I was already promoting this gig it would make sense for them to come along to Aldershot. There is not much video footage of the Buzz Club, so this is pretty rare.
Submarine released ‘Jodie Foster‘ (Topp18) as a mail order only, limited edition 7″ in red vinyl 7″ on 13th July. It was backed with their cover of the Galaxie 500 song, ‘Tugboat’ with Claire from Sidi Bou Said also on vocals and guitar.

I still really dig Submarine. In 1993, I bought Dinosaurs single. I wrote them and their manager Paul Samuels wrote a nice note back. Fast forward to August/September I got to see them open for The Flaming Lips in London. Drugstore opened.
Samuels actually met me at the venue (Powerhaus?) and gave me Submarines’ Chemical Tester 7”. When I walked in (early afternoon) the Lips were soundchecking with She Don’t Use Jelly.
Fresh outta high school from Michigan. Best two weeks of my life in London on that trip.
Thanks Jo for documenting this.
