Download The Nasty Angels CD FREE FREE FREE from Prosity Records: Go on go on go on go on - go there and download music for free We are based in Newcastle Upon Tyne (North East England) and are often found hanging around open mic nights............The Earl Grey in Gosforth on a Sunday Evening (A Paul Jackson Spectacular), The Carriage - Jesmond on a Wednesday (this is run by The Runwells - the best band around in the whole universe) and a Sunday (The Dharma Banana - stalwarts of The Newcastle original music scene). If you'd like to hear more of the stuff we knock out, raw songs and the band practising, then have a look at the "music", please do. Bob Dylan is my top artist of all time and no-one will ever top Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde (all in one year man !) - not in my opinion anyway. If you have a different opinion you are welcome to it - but you are wrong ! I also love the songs of Morrissey (maybe it's because I'm from Manchester - where the King is Denis Law........) and Shane MacGowan. The Ian Siegal Band (www.iansiegal.com) are the gig I most enjoy these days - ALWAYS get to see them if you get chance. Mark Sandman and Morphine are a constant source of inspiration - love the sound they have. I have been involved with local bands since about 1978 and in all honesty, they have not amounted to very much and I conclude I am a slow learner - however - after a short but enjoyable spell trying to play drums in a friends band I realised that I enjoyed working on original material. I got 3 albums out on Prosity Records (www.prosity.blogspot.com) thanks to the legendary Dan Tindall an all time great pioneer of low cost Hi-Fi and original acoustic music - the music is FREE; some people seem to prefer paying lottsa money for shitbox albums by industry performers - my advice "do like Bob says - when you see a crowd go the other way !" and go to Prosity (well Bob didbn't say that last bit but I'm sure he would approve)

Lyrics
In the City of Sparkling Sidewalks Sweating Budweiser beer From Pacific Heights to Fisherman’s Wharf Evenings are cool round here I’m rolling north to the border They all suck on Starbuck Lattes Now I’m on The Embarcardero And wait for cable cars Sitting on a tram car I’m looking for an Internet Cafe So I can send you an e-card From the City of Sparkling Sidewalks The dead chicken windows of Chinatown At Ocean Beach the Pacific pounds I love this City and it’s sounds I found a bar with 26 beers It’s always happy hour round here Raise a glass to Columbus and City Lights The Beat Ghosts are all walking tonight I see a high heeled lady stepping out of a cab Click clacking on the sparkling slabs Bay Bridge takes my breath away To Oakland and Santa Fe Tommorrow I’m over the Golden Gate and gone Heading north on Highway 101 Got no time for Sausalito Heading north as fast as we can go We found a town with joined up shops Where life never starts and time never stops But I spent my money on sourdough Who knows where the hours go ? In the City of Sparkling Sidewalks The dead chicken windows of Chinatown I loved that City’s sound I just loved looking around I just loved looking around I just loved looking around I just loved looking around I’m down on Granville Island Eating steak salad from Thailand Left my heart in Stanley Park Clouds so low I needed an ark Make it a liberty ship Take a freedom trip Nobody heard my dying words My living words too Like a fish that lives on turds I’m so low down and blue (Not used) Im going back to the City of Sparkling Sidewalks The dead chicken windows of Chinatown At sunset I stood on the Rockies And I saw heaven before me Avenue of lumbering giants I’m an ecologist – won’t you be my clients Women wander lost in these malls I’m in the city of Diana Kralls In the Ya’Tel Motel on a Saturday night With a no-tell sad-spell to keep me quiet My wife says “listen to the words” Like I always listen to hers
