Cron Gen Shout Out

[Albert Tatlock]

Listened to the Haiti fund raising London recording last night.

At one point JT mantions Queen, Anti-Nowhere League, and Cron Gen.

I thought where have I heard the name Cron Gen before?

 

Then I remember I worked with a guy in that band and people here are still in touch with him. He wasn't one of the original members - as a database administrator (I'll leave his anonymity intact) his personality is far from what you'd expect from a punk, so maybe that explains it. The band leader Glynn "Baxter" Barber is his best mate though (but apparently an arse who keeps falling out with each band member except said colleague). They did have occassional summer mini-tours of Germany, but now they are both still rocking as members of a glam rock tribute band "Rebel Rebel".

"Dusty Bottoms" - and that's not his real hair.

 

Not quite as hip and obscure as JT might have thought :-) Funny.
