The Seahorses - Greenock 1996

It was a secret gig of sorts. 

A performance from an unnamed band was announced. 

Folk started working out it was Squires. 

It was bonkers that he was playing in Ricos. 

 

McD etc organised a good few bands around then. 

 

Ocean Colour Scene and Dodgy and also Hurricane #1 all played Ricos. 

Seem to remember Gene playing in Word Up.

I was slightly too young for the Stone Roses but listened to the Seahorses album not long after it came out. In honor of this thread I put it on again for the first time in years. Clearly it's a product of its time but the guitar still sounds great today and there's some real stand-out tracks even beyond the singles. You wonder what Squire could have done if he'd just stuck with a band and ground it out for a while. Maybe he could have made something truly special. Or maybe it would have been like The Kinks where they just go on too long trying to catch lightning in a bottle against a backdrop of conflict. Who knows? Either way, what little the Seahorses did produce is still worth a listen today, a generation later.
