It's Gonna Happen

It’s not the biggest comeback story in the world, but I’m rather excited to hear about the return of That Petrol Emotion. They’re playing some dates in March, including a show at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

As you probably know, the band was formed by John and Damian O’ Neill after The Undertones had finished. Steve Mack from Seattle sang and leaped around while fine players such as Raymond and Ciaran also served. Lovers of Ulster rock should at least be familiar with ‘Big Decision’, ‘Sensitize’, ‘It’s A Good Thing’ and ‘Natural Kind Of Joy’. Between this and the looming return of My Bloody Valentine, it's like 1988 all over again.

Meantime, have you heard the story about Led Zep playing Ormeau Park, Belfast in 2008? See the ATL site for more.

Stu Bailie presents The Late show on Radio Ulster, every Friday from 10pm until midnight. See his playlist here.
