Buckley's Chance and Petrol 3

So, digging around in my old pic archive I recently came across a couple of shots of the band Petrol 3 whom I played a little bass & even some scratching on the turntables at a few gigs (we weren't that prolific!) Big John Duncan of The Exploited, Goodbye Mr McKenzie & Nirvana fame was on guitar alongside Iain Fugue on samples, blips etc, Lisa Boa on vox and Road on drums.

The cowboy shot is me playing a gig to commemorate the last ever night at Leith's famed Homes Bar for our good friend Pat. I stepped in to play drums for Buckley's Chance as their drummer was vacant. On guitars for Buckleys is Malcolm Ross who you may remember as being the guitarist for Aztec Camera, Josef K & Orange Juice.

More gigs with Buckley's Chance soon I hope... Good 'ole country music.

You'll notice that in the ten year gap, I seem to have acquired an extra chin!

M I double S I double S I double P I
M I double S I double S I double P I

Right in the middle of the cotton belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last years possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta

Have me a little that Johnny cake
A little bit of that apple pan dowdy
Pickin them scuppernon's off that vine
Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy

Ate me a bucket of Muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark
Drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly bark

One-ree-o-ree-ee-reeanni
Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-queery-quan

M I double S I double S I double P I
M I double S I double S I double P I
