“The 3rd Time We Opened The Capsule.. top track! Thought KOD were a great band too.
I think Patrick Fitzgerald put a few solo albums out under the guise of Stephenhero?”

“PF is still living in Manchester, he has a new solo album out '57 stars of the air almanac' released 6th August

The album launch is on monday august 6th at The Roadhouse, Manchester - doors 7pm stage 8.30pm - support acts to follow”

“Patrick grew up in the Manchester area going to school in Fallowfield (Primary) and Rusholme (Secondary) before heading to London for Uni and life as singer/bassplayer with Kitchens of Distinction. He went solo in 1996, first as Fruit and then as stephenhero, and has lived back in Manchester since 2002. I should know, I live with him!

Musically he's based at Islington Mill now and there's a piece due in this Friday's MEN/CityLife as a preview for next week's Roadhouse show. Interpol, Bloc Party, Editors certainly all display the influence of KOD who's main influence themselves was (getting back to the NW/mdmarchive) Joy Division :-)”

“Thanks for that KH. Regards, respect and good luck to Patrick.”
