Fronting It


Posting Stella Grundy's solo track last week- go and check it out if you missed it (and make sure you get to the end for the 'Hello Shrewsbury! Rock and roll...' line at the end)- made me go back and look at some of Intastella's stuff. I've posted People before, a genuinely top record. The picture above is from a gig at The Boardwalk. Reader Michael, over in Ireland, reminded me of a legendary TV performance from 1993 with Stella rocking it in Y-fronts that look like they were bought in the Arndale Market.



Two years previously they were on The Word. My memory suggests they appeared on the same episode as Nirvana made their first appearance on British telly.



Dancer Little Anthony was a familiar face from Manchester's clubs. I remember sharing dancefloor space with him many times in the early-to-mid 90s. He was always very smiley.

Stella Star


Stella Grundy, once of Manchester's Intastella, has had a second life as an actor and has been performing a one woman play, The Rise And Fall Of A Northern Star (based around the character Tracy Star). This song is from the album that goes with it- a driving, Jah Wobble powered tale of the darkside of the music industry, packed with hard won experience and Northern grit. It'll wake you up, shake you about a bit and stick in your head all day.
