Faust do stuff like that, never stopped them becoming seminal, influential etc
HM, yes I was stressed because of the fucking shit b4 doors, but a few factors should be taken into consideration:-
both HB & MM were playing Nottingham the night b4 & travelled up
on Friday arriving late & 4 out the 5 playing were TOUR ILL with various bugs & @ one point I was told MM maybe wouldn't play
& wanted to go to their hotel instead, having cajoled them into not doing so, they decided they would do a sound check & after not doing so the night b4, hence the overrun & the Cynics not getting one. Also many of the delays were caused by HB techie problems because of knackered European to UK plugs (thanks Mark).
At the end of the day I would rather put on something that causes discussion, derision, devision, blatant attacks or glorious comments, than put on something that was NICE & instanly forgettable.........
I remember when Josephine Foster played with Tarpus Tula (David Keenan & his girlfriend) & that caused a storm of division & outcry. At least is got a reaction!!!!!!!!!!!
Judging the messages above this is a similar type event & loads of people I spoke to loved the show & some didn't (mainly on here)
All i an do is apologise to those who felt shortchanged & especially to the members of The Kitchen Cynics Orchestra (Alan was emailed on Sat morning) for the shortfall of our usually decent standards of event promotion...............
