Are You Scared To Get Happy?: The Siddeleys

The Siddeleys

The Siddeleys were a short lived but an incredibly influential band. They released just two singles and a number of tracks on various compilations. I am not going to write about the history of the band when they do it themselves here.

The majority of their output including Peel Sessions was collated on the Slum Clearance compilation released in 2001 jointly between Clarendon Records and the Matinee label.

1987's single What Went Wrong This Time turned up on the CD86 compilation released last year. My Favourite Wet Wednesday Afternoon was one of the b-sides.

About

Are You Scared To Get Happy takes it's name from the Bristol fanzine of the same name that was produced by Matt Haynes who later co-founded Sarah Records.

This little blog is just my tribute to the indie pop scene of years past and I hope you enjoy it. This blog is created in the spirit of my original indie-mp3 site which existed between 2002 - 2005 and is now a fully fledged music review site.

I endeavour to update it on a weekly basis with tracks posted by me being available for a limited period. Feel free to leave comments or contact me. If posting a track offends get in touch and I will take it down.
