"Come with me, tonight's the night..."
This is Mark from Altern 8. They had 2 top ten hits in the 90s and were on Top of the Pops live - twice, once with Nirvana!
Over lockdown I played Back to Back with Mark on a big American DoesitBANG livestream, I did a Rave Quiz - attended by the owner of Positiva records, amongst 500 ravers - and ran their page; one of the more successful posts I did was a "not just for colds" take on a well known brand of decongestant. Now that has made it to Altern 8's official merch line!
There's a reason Ravers used to cover themselves in mentholated rub - a good story for another time - for now, if I can get my 90s Dance events running successfully, one day I'll get Altern 8 to come play Harrogate, it's long been one of my goals in life...
Come down to the free event on Sunday 31st August at LilyPad and get me Closer To All my Dreams, and if you like the look of this, check out Altern 8 's merch, some of which I vaguely helped design!
Top 1.
Nice one.
Get sorted!
