philipdalton Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) This band never enjoyed the same chart-topping success as their fellow Irishmen U2, Nolan Sisters, Thin Lizzy, B*Witched, Boyzone or Boomtown Rats. The furthest they ever managed to get was number 72 in the singles chart with a comedic little ditty called 'Charlton Heston'. This is a song called 'The Rats'. https:// Stump-The Rats Edited December 20, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipdalton Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Here's a seldom seen video of theirs. I wonder what Simon Cowell would've made of them. First time I ever heard them was on the John Peel show on Radio 1: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I love Stump, and have quite a few of their records. I've posted Stump tracks a few times on SongFacts in the past, when i used to be a much more regular contributor here. My favourite Stump tracks are (in no particular order): "Down On The Kitchen Table", "Tupperware Stripper"and "Buffalo". I saw Stump at Leeds Warehouse in 1987. or was it 86, even ? (supported by The Close Lobsters, as I recall) I have had a similar hairstyle to Mick Lynch on and off for the last 27 years, but whether this is coincidence or not,I wouldnt like to say. All this being said, I think the "Get The Word Out" forum is ostensibly for drawing attention to upcoming (i.e. current / recent bands) we feel worthy of a wider audience, rather than relatively obscure bands from 30 years ago. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
