So, Romo was a failed attempt at a 1981 revival in 1995?
I went to an awesome rave (with Squarepusher as a surprise guest!) a few years back in a forest clearing in Norfolk, organised by some people who used to put on an amazing electro/techno night called Wang, in London. Unfortunately they seem to have stopped putting on parties as of last summer.
Wang threw some amazing parties.
They were meant to be involved in the whole BLOC weekend thing but they pulled out at a very early stage.
Shame.

Bang Face put on a awesome monthly night in Elekrowerkz, London. They call it 'neo rave', but whether you think that's a daft term or not they have good music (mostly jungle/breakcore with some really cool acid as well, frequent Black Sabbath mash-ups, vintage Prodigy - although it's no nostalgia-fest) and a really friendly crowd.
I've been intrigued by this "Romo" thing since I read an interview with Zoot Woman where the journalist mentioned it briefly stating that maybe '95 had been too early for an 80s revival, but 2001 was gonna be the year, people, etc, etc...
'Cause I just remember that everybody used "80s" as a byword for naffness back then.
ah fuck, i thought i'd be able to remember some of the bands' names, but i really can't. one maybe had the word gold in the title? lol. and wasn't simon price, the journalist who was most behind the 'scene', also in one of the bands?
What am I bid for this? Note how it is still sealed...
what is it? (just a red X on my screen)
is it the romo melody maker?
cool.
actually i've got one though (shame) - but it's not sealed. in fact, i seem to remember scrawling abusive anti-romo graffiti all over it, including, if i remember correctly, prince's 'slave' motif on someone's cheek and a speech bubble saying 'i am a twat' or something along those lines.... very childish.
