Misplaced Mancunia (music thread)

Not really my bag, but…

Even though I wouldn't put this band down as lost but I think they are a bit forgotten in the Manchester music story and are still banging out great records.

I’ll put my first post in this thread starting with some Sixties bands

The Dakotas



The Toggary Five (great track!)



A few surprisingly good tracks from the early Bee Gees:

Seeing as bands others have put on like New Fads,Paris Angels and the fantastic Wonky Alice I'll put this on even though they were obviously in debt to New Order they had some good tunes.
The Whip

The Whip

The Whip were formed from the remnants of Nylon Pylon who were mega live.

A few from a local band called Horsebeach who aren’t exactly lost (they’re an active band now) but aren’t too well known

Following the success of the The Fall (mine) and the Old Skool (credit to OP) threads I wanted to start a new thread.

One for any Manchester based music that would come under the description of "lost" or "forgotten" or "no one else I know, knows this tune".

Any genre, any era, as long as Manchester based or some kind of Mancunian link.

I'll start us off with these 3.

The Desert Wolves - fizzled out after a couple of releases. Smiths esque.




Johnny Dangerously. Went on to front I am Kloot.




Wonky Alice - early 90s era. Some proper little belters but didn't really take off.

Great idea for a thread - loads here that I have never knowingly listened to...........
