The band enjoyed success in the early 1990s with hits such as The Size Of A Cow and Welcome To The Cheap Seats. After the group split in 1994 Gilks, 41, went into management, working with rock bands A, Reef and Hundred Reasons. A spokesperson for his company, Furtive, said: "He was greatly loved by many and will be sorely missed by all his family and friends." Gilks also featured in 1980s indie band The Mighty Lemon Drops before he joined the Wonder Stuff, who were formed in Stourbridge, West Midlands. After a brief reunion for live shows in 2000, vocalist Miles Hunt revived the Wonder Stuff name in 2004, but with a different line-up. Gilks died at St George's Hospital, Tooting, on Monday of internal injuries following Sunday's accident. He leaves a son and daughter. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2006 11:31:33 +0100 From: "matt sewell" Subject: RE: Paging Matt Sewell: 1 degree of feg-band separation That's great news Rex - TBW are excellent I reckon... The Hypnotising Sea is still spending a lot of time in my cd player. Wish I could make the show... mind you, I've been meaning to make it over there - when exactly is the gig?! In other feg-related music news, it looks like Anton Barbeau has decided to release In The Village Of The Apple Sun himself. This is brilliant news as it's a stunning album - strictly limited release though, you might want to drop him a line and bagsy your copy... anton@antonbarbeau.com In yet more feg-related music news, I've got no idea how to work this computer thing for music recording... if anyfeg has advice on this (for a PC/XP user like me, m'fraid), it would be most gratefully received. Oh, and Rex, is it easy to get hold of yer band's recordings?

It's the lower-profile of 2 gigs supporting Project K (the more prominent one is 4/17) at Mr. T's Bowl in Highland Park. As far as home and computer recording, other fegs would know more than I do. At about the time I started to get proficient at the low-end stuff, everyone around me went high-tech and home-studio-ish and I just kinda gave up. It's easy to do 4-track-like demos, but so many people have so much gear in their garages that I figure I'm best sticking to what I do and waiting for someone with more of a brain to stick a mic in front of my amp. > Oh, and Rx, is it easy to get hold of yer band's recordings? > The only ones "available" are the half-finished year-old demos (from the "keyboard era") that you can download from the MySpace page. It'd be nice to get some more done this year, but gigs are the focus right now... More importantly, how did you get it so that some of the letters in your e-mail are larger than others? It looks like some kind of Masonic code and is rather cool. Or am I the only one seeing it that fnord way? - -Rx ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2006 17:14:14 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: REAP On 4/5/06, Eb wrote: > Marc Alberts wrote: > > > Gene Pitney, 65. > > > > http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/05/uk.pitneydeath/index.html > > Boy, I feel dumb.
