23 Magical Musical Moments (#19)

Best “New” Old Band

I don’t know how I missed the guys in the mid 80s. I am thrilled I found them now in a big way.

THE DENTISTS were from Chatham, Kent in Medway UK 🇬🇧

They were around from ‘85 to ‘95. I had heard of this band but never got to listen to them in that period.

Two members of this band (MARK MATHEWS and ROB COLLINS) formed TREASURES OF MEXICO. As you know I went to see them in Brighton two weeks ago.

Not only was I able to buy some of DENTISTS music while at the gig, I was able to get my purchases signed by 4 members of the band as two were there to watch their former band mates.

Here is a fave on my first couple of listens – ‘Settle Down off their compilation LP entitled “If All The Flies Were One Fly’-
