The Pooh Sticks: Sat 21st April

Apr 12, 2012

Posted by Stuart Huggett

In 1988, pop conceptualists The Pooh Sticks burst onto the independent scene in a whirlwind of cartoon identities and musical in-jokes. Steered by the wittily subversive Fierce Recordings, the Swansea group shot out some instantly collectable singles that poked affectionate fun at the indie scene, before knuckling down to record a series of slick and tuneful power pop albums that flew undeservedly ever lower beneath the radar. This is a celebratory final Brighton show from the reformed Poohs.

Stuart Huggett grew up in Hastings, writing fanzines and blogs about the town’s underground music scene. He has been a regular contributor to SOURCE, NME, The Quietus and Bowlegs. His huge archive of magazines, flyers and vinyl is either an invaluable research tool or a bloody pain. He occasionally runs tinpot record label Dizzy Tiger, DJs sporadically and plays live even less.
