Northside NAME: Northside MEMBERS:   Warren 'Dermo' Dermody, Cliff Ogier, Timmy Walsh & Paul Walsh HIGHEST CHART SINGLE:   My Rising Star ESSENTIAL ALBUM:   Shall We Take A Trip / Moody Places SOME WRITING ON THE BAND By Boy Broon : Northside were  formed in Manchester in 1989 by Warren 'Dermo' Dermody, Cliff Ogier and brothers  Timmy and Paul Walsh. Signed to the city's Factory Records and  labelmates with New Order and the Happy Mondays they were seen at the time as  the great young hopefuls of the 'Madchester' scene. First release  'Shall we take a trip/Moody places' received some critical acclaim and the band  built up a steady following through the song 'shall we take a trip' with it's  notorious opening lines of L.S.D. Another single  'My rising star' and an album 'Chicken Rhythms' followed that year but to a  sadly lesser response. The Stone Roses had gone into hibernation the 'Mondays  were on a course for burn out and the scene was slowly  dying. Their final single release in early 1991  was the chirpy, jangly guitar pop of 'Take 5' which sadly missed out on the top 40 but strangely secured them a top of the pops  appearance. Not long after  the band broke up and apart from a brief reunion in the mid 90s never bothered  the music industry again but have a cult following who remember their frantic  live shows which included a bizarre cover of Peter Gabriel's 'Solsbury  Hill'.
