I went to see them in Camden when they first signed with Creation. They had a young male singer with a bowl cut. They were incredible... and much more exciting than what they became later when he left and they went truly shoegaze. I did meet them later and we talked about making a music video together but the stars never did align on that one. Kevin really did look at hid flippin shoes for most of the time we were in the pub. Although the later shoegaze stuff was less exciting than their "Monkees on speed" iteration, i will always love Kevin for his work on the "Lost in Translation" sountrack.
