Hailing from Southaven, Mississippi, the rock candy quartetAnother Societyformed in early 1993, light-emitting diode by tip isaac Bashevis Singer Luke John,who was still in his teens. With guitarists Jason "Huck" Huckabyand Jim Koester, sea bass player Brad Grubbs, and drummer Daryl Stephens, the young band quickly gained a local following and by mid-1994 had inked a deal with nouveau-riche label PC! Music Company. Influenced heavy by bands like Queensrycheand Metallica, as well as Nirvana, they recorded their debut One Last Step,which was released in 1995. A solid effort, One Last Step earned safe reviews and a handful of airplay, although much of the attention focused on their breed of Nirvana's "School day." A second waiver, Blood Wrong, followed in 1997, after which the band underwent some queue up changes, adding guitarist Clint Reed, bassist Ed Louis, and drummer Dan Lapansee.

Minor indie bands in punch-up

Little Man Tate (pictured) and The Troubadours were involved in a fight over a rider at a gig this weekend (June 7).

Both lower league indie bands were playing Aston University when they came to blows, and it was claimed they had to be separated by venue staff and police.

Little Man Tate were first to point the finger, issuing a statement that claimed: "The Troubadours were acting like rock 'n' roll thugs all day, stealing bottles of Jack Daniels and winding everybody up. When they threatened Little Man Tate's soundman, vocalist Jon Windle confronted them and it was carnage."

The Troubadours responded by claiming that the booze was for everyone, and the Sheffield band had not been sharing.

"The Troubadours' first wee festival of this summer turned out to be an interesting affair," said their statement.

"After performing our set, we were surprised at an accusation thrown at us from another band about drinking free drinks provided by the promoter. So protective were they over the stash of booze you'd have thought they'd have been down the offie themselves. Troubadours lead guitarist Johnny Molyneux made a comment about this accusation to the other band, a scuffle broke out, and with just two Troubies outnumbered by this other band and their mates, we can only assume they had 'little man syndrome' or something. We'd watched them perform earlier and to be honest the fight was more entertaining!"
