The Other Ones

About Me

The Other Ones are Bands and solo performers across the globe with one thing in common - a love of the music of The Only Ones. They are involved in a project to separately record Only Ones songs and put them together as a tribute. The list so far is as follows:Peter And The Pets - You've Got To Pay... Nick Marsh - The Beast... The Rocks - Someone Who Cares... The Skuzzies - Watch You Drown... The Maledictions - Miles From Nowhere... The Larch - Lovers Of Today... The Plastic Pals - No Peace For The Wicked... The Auto Dropouts - Flaming Torch... The Minor Poets - Programme... Michael Coffey - Fools/Reunion... Zeptepi - Inbetweens... T.Tex Edwards - Why Don't You Kill Yourself/Baby's Got A Gun... Hellon - It's The Truth/ Flowers Die... The Wildeflowers - Deadly Nightshade......... There are more acts waiting in the wings!.......This is our way of showing our appreciation to Peter Perrett and the Only Ones for giving us something very special over the years, and to welcome them back after such a long rest. If you want to be invoolved and become part of The Other Ones, then please get in touch at [email protected]. A few points:I want this to be fairly democratic. In other words I would like everyone to use this space to talk to each other and then decide who does what, but I suppose it will be first come first served. However I don't see a problem with several versions of a song being made and the everyone voting on it. Or even if they are radically different then both versions could count. I don't think we should impose too many limits. We could build up a large collection, online at least, that could be downloaded or shared. Also timeframe needs to be about 6 months I suppose to get an albums worth together, but it could be open ended online, with new covers of new OO songs even! I am open to suggestions. Gary
