I'm expecting you to lead me off in a cheerful dance

About Me

Bucketfull Of Brains was founded in 1979 by Nigel Cross. It has published continuously since that time under a series of editorial teams. It covers a wide-range of musics; an erstwhile sub-title listed "rock, garage, psych, folk-rock, pop, rock’n’roll”, and to that can now be added country, soul and glam and probably more. Throughout its life it has retained an affection for songs with guitars and thus bands like the Barracudas, the Flamin’ Groovies, the Dream Syndicate, the Long Ryders and the Green Pajamas hold a special place in its affections.
Bucketfull #71 is NOW AVAILABLE. Cover stars are THE ONLY ONES who've returned triumphantly this spring. We also talk to two of our longstanding Aussie faves THE SAINTS and THE TRIFFIDS. There's part two of Phil King's conversation with IAN NORTH of MILK"N"COOKIES. Jud Cost on the road with SAL VALENTINO. Plus chats with WINTERPILLS, CHRIS BROWN, JIM BOGGIA, and HELLWOOD. Along with all the usual gossip and stuff.
