The lost indie kings.......they should've been/could've been so much bigger!!!

Both "Against Perfection" and "Fake" bring a tear to my eye when I hear certain songs. I rate them alongside Red House Painters and The Smiths at being geniuses at combining melancholy and music into a sublime event.

Years ago, probably about 6 to 7 years ago I used to live in a sunny town called Durban in South Africa. Frequently, I went out on the piss, as they say in England, and frequently I used to see this beautiful girl. I never did ask her name, she looked unapproachable. A couple of friends had speokn to her only to get the brush off. I think this only helped in my attraction towards her. I t was firstly at a Durban night club called Retro's that she caught my eye, then after that closed down, I used to see her at Crash. If you were in Durbs years ago, you will know these places. I would love to write to this girl, just to let her know how beautiful I thought and think, that she is. The only desription that I can give is that she was about 5ft tall( I think), she looked like Bjork, and she drove a blue Beetle, it may have had a NUR registration plate.

I have serched the web for anything about these 2 clubs, as well as The Rift, but no no avail. This is my last hope. She made such an impression on me that I still think of her. I don't think that I need to explain what I look like, I think she will know. I must have seen her over a hundred times, and due to the reasons mentioned earlier, together with my inherant shyness and a couple of relationships, I never did persue her...I know it's sad. I don't want to be on my death's bed without ever having spoken to her. I don't want anything other than to tell her my feelings. She may well be married, settled down, I'm not trying to ruin that, I just get this off of my chest.

Adorable is what she was, and what she is.

Adorable were overunderrated during their short lifespan.

'Sunshine Smile' has one of the most lovely guitar parts in pop/rock history, and is quite frankly one of the best songs of the shoegaze era of the early 1990s.

Yes. They were arrogant and the press abused them all the time, but they were ambitious and that is what makes a good band after all.
