Man it's been 19 years since i saw this live on TV when I was still living in Mexico... they were - and still are, in fact - my fav band. I always thought, if there was ONE band I could choose to play in, it would've been them...
To answer many of the below questions, it looks very much like former Ambulance LTD singer Marcus Congleton started or joined a band called Drug Cabin - see details facebook.com/drugcabin but also have 3 albums published on iTunes that are a must to purchase! If everyone loved the Ambulance LTD material so much... put your money where your mouth is, and offer these great musicians a chance to earn a living if you want to keep hearing great songs from them.
I love how they had so many different styles... Here they look so serious with those suits, a bit like the beatles! Not my favourite song neither, but my favourite band.
Man I saw these guys in Rock Island about ten years ago. I bought the CD and chatted with these guys. I thought they were awesome. Ten years later I find myself trying to find out what happened to them.
Yep! Irene Adler is 100% right. I hate it because they had a second ready to go too. BUT! To anyone who doesn't know yet, Marcus has a new band called Drug Cabin and they have several releases out so check 'em out!
yeah they couldn't get an album that was finished released because the label went bankrupt. They finally got rights to the album after 8 or 9 years after the fact. They released it for free but by then they had broken up. It's kind of a tragic story.
I TM'd these guys on a UK tour. They were the nicest guys on earth, a great laugh and really decent humans. They even let me play percussion on some radio promo sessions they did. They could have soared into the stratosphere with their music. Super talented set up and the a great stage chemistry. Totally gutted they split
@alfaBAT9 yes man but he's not even in the band anymore. i know the bass player and the drummer left to form some other band and now every single member is different except marcus. where the fuck did benji go? he's my favorite of all of them his guitar work is gorgeous
ilovewaterslides --- traditionally LTD stands for limited but i don't think that is the case here. i've never heard it used with ambulance. i think you are just assuming.
+sküll düggery Well I'm not. I have a live session on KEXP from 2004 where they said it was due to legal issues but they kinda prefer to be called Ambulance, then on another KEXP session from 2005 the host called them Ambulance Limited and they didn't tell anything about it. I just think they don't give a shit about it to be honest.
16 years listening ,and still loving this band!
Same
Me too!
20 years and still listening
I MISS YOU AMBULANCE!!!! PLEASE COME BACK!
Amen
The absolute joy I get from hearing their music but the absolute pain I get knowing we'll never get new ones.

Why did they disappear
the record company that signed them went bankrupt and they split. dunno the details, but essentially bad luck.

Do you know how / where to get the 2nd album? I only know of the first LP and the follow up EP. I'd love to hear it

Same story here. Except I saw, and met them in Cleveland.
What happened to Ambulance LTD?
Still soothes
postal service!

which song is this one?
Stay where you are
what's the LTD thing mean? jay announced them as ambulance.
+sküll düggery Ambulance Limited. Their full name basically but everybody calls them Ambulance for some reason.

ilovewaterslides --- that's very interesting... great band. definitely one of the worst names in the history of R&R, though.
sküll düggery I have to agree with that :P
The new ambulance doesn't sound nearly as good live. Too bad 3/4 of the band left to start Wankers inc. the 80's influenced boy band.
Why this song, why not opehila or sugar pill, this song is so boring.
Boooo, this song is amaaazing
