The Bristol Mod / Powerpop Explosion

Tuesday, December 9th, 2014

10961996_10152725849913269_981316224_nJust agreed a new project for next year ‘The Bristol Mod / Power pop Explosion’. Another chapter in the history of the sub culture, the scene, the era . The guy we’ve enlisted to help us with the story is Michael Salter and an old friend of mine from school. We used to hang out together at the gigs and clubs. Early days but excited about the soundtrack to our lives. Christmas we’ll start pulling it together. More updates soon.

Andy Sanders

Tuesday, October 28th, 2014
We lost another Bristol star last week. Andy Sanders guitarist with The Electric Guitars sadly passed away in St.Peters Hospice after a long battle with cancer. Andy was an amazing musician and brilliant guy who will always be missed by Steve and myself at Bristol Archive Records. The Electric Guitars were Steve’s fav band and they should have been oh so huge! We send our love to Claire and the family in these very sad times. Here’s Andy on tour with the EG’s in the USA supporting Peter Gabriel. Blessed love. Mike
