1992 - 1993 |
January
1992 |
Still reeling from the high of the Moot Hall concert, the Dayglo Fishermen
finish work on the latest album. They name it 'And So It Is', and release
it straight away.
Due to professional obligations elsewhere, David leaves the band. |
|
March
1992 |
After a short break, Dayglo Fishermen begin writing and recording a new album. Tension is high between the band members, and the tone and lyrics of the songs are dark and edgy.
In an attempt to cool things off, a publicity photo shoot takes place. |
|
April
1992 |
The new album, named Magic Organ, is released.
Immediately afterwards, Eamonn and Sean leave the band. |
|
July
1992 |
Peter and Richard are the only remaining members of Dayglo Fishermen. Considering the situation as a new beginning, and feeling very positive, the two begin work on a new album. |
|
September
1992 |
Dayglo Fishermen proudly release their new album, What the Hell. It receives excellent reviews, both locally and nationally. |
|
November
1992 |
A bootleg tape containing songs from all of Dayglo Fishermen's
previous albums is discovered in Berkshire. It's origins are traced to
the Sussex coast.
After careful thought, the band decide against legal
action on this occasion. |
|
January
1993 |
A feeling of nostalgia overcomes the band, and Peter and Richard re-record and remix some of Dayglo Fishermen's earlier tracks. The album, Keep to the Path, is the result. It is released immediately to a curious public. |
|
March
1993 |
In a dank and dim forest, Dayglo Fishermen brave the
frigid Nothumbrian weather and stage a photo shoot. The eminent Scottish
artist, J. Lorne Inglis, is the photographer.
Back in the studio, the band begin recording another album. |
|
April
1993 |
The recording is going well. The two-track single, Horoscope, is released as a teaser for the full album, scheduled shortly. |
|
May
1993 |
In preparation for the release of the new album, Dayglo Fishermen perform a gig at Club Energy in Woolwich, London. It's a trancy, smokey affair, with a relaxed and appreciative audience. The eminent scottish artist J. Lorne Inglis appears as a guest artist, and performs a moving trumpet solo in a kilt. |
|
Back in the studio, the eminent scottish artist J. Lorne Inglis is invited
to write a couple of songs for the new album. He makes a good effort,
but the songs lack the quality and professionalism required for a Dayglo
Fishermen album. The songs are dropped.
J. Lorne Inglis becomes bitter and hostile, threatening
to sue Dayglo Fishermen for the most ridiculous of reasons. Peter and
Richard are initially shocked, but soon they laugh at the amazing unprofessionalism
of the situation.
J. Lorne Inglis' odd behaviour is set to continue for
many years. |
|
July
1993 |
Finally, after unforeseen delays, the new album, simply titled The Dayglo Fishermen, is released. Public reaction is swift and positive.
Motivated by such an amazing response, the band begin work on the next album immediately. |
|
September
1993 |
The new album, titled Animate, is completed. Although the Dayglo Fishermen are proud of the new material, they decide not to release it. At least for now, anyway. |
|
Christmas
1993 |
After two years, Dayglo Fishermen play the Moot Hall, Hexham once again. It's a very festive concert, complete with an on-stage Christmas tree. Sean Wills returns as a guest artist, this time playing his vintage synthesiser. J. Lorne Inglis reprises his role as a kilt-wearing trumpet player.
The press reviews the following day have nothing but praise for the band's stunning performance. |
