the first band I saw w/a mellotron onstage was Ultrasound, amazingly
enough, I mean I've seen loads of bands since the early '80's when I
started going to gigs, but Ultrasound was the first. Man, they were
terrible! The keyboard player looked like he'd blown his entire advance
on vintage keys - he had a hammond and a minimoog as well iirc, but the
sound was just mush, and the band were playing the old race you to thee
end of thee song palaver, so it sucked. Shame really, coz they were
good on "Later" and they had "potential", fwiw.
Shame - the album wasn't bad, and the band several of them used to be in,
Sleepy People, were/are EXCELLENT.
