If you were a fan of Prolapse ( http://www.myspace.com/prolapseuk ) and are in a band. Odd Box records want to hear from you (PM here). I am in the middle of putting together a Prolapse 'Tribute' LP.

I am not likely to want the songs, much before the Autumn, but I need to get at least 20 bands interested to make it worthwhile.

Here's what I had to say about it on the Odd Box Blog:

Prolapse are a band that I keep coming back to. About 4 years ago, I wrote a little piece for a Lostmusic paper fanzine about Prolapse and I always thought they were ripe for rediscovery and indeed they still have a cult following to this day. I’m just surprised that they are not remembered by more people. Odd Box has kicked off a plan to put together a ‘tribute’ LP. The words ‘tribute album’ strikes dread into my heart – but I think Prolapse were such a unique band the idea of current bands taking a slant on their songs would make for a really fantastic album.

Interest has already been expressed by MJ Hibbett and The Validators, The Mai 68s, Magoo, Leaf Library, The Chemistry Experiment along with current Odd Box bands The Wednesday Club and The Humms. But we need more bands to get this little album off the ground. So spread the word, contact me and we’ll see if we can get this album to be something extra special.

Mentioned it to a mate on Facebook after he posted a link saying that at that precise moment in time Prolapse were his favourite band ever. He suggested asking the mighty TODD

If anyone covers Autocade they better cover it good or Cock Weasel will be round with a mallet!

Have a fair few bands intersted already. This could be awesome. or awful. Waiting for the covers to land. Cut off date for submissions is some way off, though. October 1st. It'll be released next year.
