[kj] [kj Support Bands (was Ha)

Also I probably should have mentioned that Jaz produced Loud first album "d-generation" which is a good album, the main bloke in Loud also played with NMA but can't remember his name maybe Chris? For second loud album he kicked a few people out & they became a bit of a super group with etch & Stuart Morrow joining, the subsequent second album wasn't very good.

Red lorry yellow lorry on the BTATS tour, I was into them, Loud on first extremities tour are also a good band. I remember the chatshow supporting them in 86 at rock city secret/low key gig.

Skyscraper on the Pandemonium tour were pretty good. I still have one of their albums, Superstate.

The one I remember supporting KJ was Strange Boutique. They did a great version of Magazines Under The Floorboards.
I bought one of their albums, which I probably listened to twice.
