Big Soul rule, unfortunately i seem to be the only english fan on the planet, sum 1 say when there next album is coming out cos they rock

David Crofts was a member of the band in their early days but was throw out due to his womanising.The tales of his groupie orgies are infamous. 24 in 6, true fans will understand that.

Kevin Harte was originally from Ireland and was only with the band during their UK tour. Kevin Harte was schedualed to join them when they returned to France to help record new material but his son needed to visit some sci fi stratagy pc game convention in America and drunk Kevin thought it was best to keep with his son. His son is still unmarried and at the age of 16 is a fridge as i have had the pleasure (?) of meeting him backstage at a big soul gig. Kevin Harte 65 was entertaining some female fans aged 8 when Anthony his son wet his pants as he was nervous. Hilarious.

First of all, incredible site. It brings back a lot of great memories. Second, if the other guys from this band want to get in touch, I'd love to catch up. Finally, I think the Crofts and Harte references are for another band, perhaps one with the same name.

Thanks again for the nostalgia trip.

A weird, largely instrumental band that arose from the charred ashes of Psychic Violents. First tape had strong be-bop jazz/Minutemen-ish overtones while subsequent recordings found the band moving into more of an exploratory rock vein that left room for a few pop moves. The final tape, BigSoul III, had an expansive and quirky approach that showed the band upping the hooks big-time while keeping the rhythmic sophistication that was their trademark. Distinctly non-punk and rather virtuosic, Big Soul played scores of packed shows between 1988 and 1991 including frequent out-of-town gigs. They attracted a large collegiate following , much to the chagrin of the scene's punk rock gatekepers. Their first tape sold over 1,000 copies in 1988, a fairly large number by the standards of the day.
