Bless you Dereck.We appreciate you make a video in these turbulent times.
What a coincidence Dereck, I just saw Boris last night at the Fillmore here in SF, I took some great photos and video I’ll send you a link. Thanks for introducing that band to us.
Greetings Mr. Derek Higgins!! The first time I saw you perform live on stage in Omaha, which is both your home and mine, you were the bassist for R.A.F. and you were an opening band along with Power Spoken Word for my favorite Punk band at the time: Dead Kennedys!! It was on October 31st, 1985(?) Maybe? Or 1987? I forget. But I still have the ticket stub from that show. It was my 1st show I ever went to and I attempted my 1st stage dive. I got up on the stage, moshed around for a few seconds and proceeded to jump as high & as far as I could off the stage. As I descended downward the crowd dispersed to the left and right and I came crashing down on that unforgiving hardwood floor which will never be forgotten!! Lol. I slowly got up and acted like nothing was wrong and made my way back into the safe area where no one was moshing so I could lick my wounds!! True story!!
But before I forget, I'd like to say "Thank You" for being part of the local punk/alternative scene here in Omaha when I was just a teenager getting into Punk and growing up going to shows with you playing for R.A.F. and of course Digital Sex. Loved your shows & music as well as your energy on stage!! I still got the R.A.F. No Time cassette tape!! Along with Apathy Out the Window album from Seth, the Homan Brothers and the awesome Mark Blackman on drums who went on to No Heroes with Paul Merky(also from R.A.F.) Phil and my buddy Jzun Lankford. Jzun of course went on to Bellychain with a really good old buddy of mine Bones(aka: Scott Moulton) who are now playing in a band called The Gentleman Delinquents. Anyways, I've babbled on long enough for now. If you and the R.A.F.guys play another show... I definitely want to show up and relive some of my best memories as a young Punk growing up in Omaha!! Keep playing and pushing forward!! Hope to see you sometime soon!!
BIG D
Yeah it's difficult to exist without people we always thought would be here. I'm still in recoil from loss and I know I gotta keep moving no matter what. I have many t shirts and albums that have an entire new meaning now.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend!!!
losing someone you still had potential to make music with is hard, no matter what strains there might have been on relations or whatever, it’s something that has to be dealt with and it isn’t easy - it’s almost worse when they’re still here and the odds are slim that collaborating will ever happen again - deep breaths❤️
Cheers Dereck!
Curved Air was under the management of Miles Copeland and of course Stewart was his brother so I'm sure that connection was how Stewart joined Curved Air. Also BTM Records was Miles' label in which the label released Midnight Wire (and its follow-up Airborne) in the UK. Caravan and Renaissance were also on that label, although the Renaissance albums released on that label like Turn of the Cards and Scheherzade & Other Stories were on Sire in the States.
Stewart talked about Miles, etc.

Ironically Both Nirvana Bands The Uk Psych & The Seattle Realised 3 Studio Albums Each .
Sorry About Your Friend .
Hey Dereck my heart is with you with the loss of your band mate. I have had a friend who took his life over 2 years ago and Its still strange and difficult to process. He had a young daughter.
It's horrible for the children.
hi dereck, i remembered you being a Mew fan. really sad hearing they disbanded
I talked to Jonas about it. They may go on without him.
Yo have you checked out the new Geordie Greep stuff?
Of course, you don't even have to ask.
