Playing Glasgow G2 9th July. Tix are about 11 quid.

You should not have left Wire's 2nd set early as they pulled out some classic encores!

Bad news... http://www.atpfestival.com/events/news.php?event=11&view=164

Just picked up an excellent live DVD of Mike Patton & Rahzel of The Roots. Outstanding vox!

Last time I saw Rush, Primus were the support!

The Process was a classic album. and they are amazing live!

Skinny Puppy will perform in London at the Forum on July 19th. Only UK date so far.

The Fastard gigs were always entertaining... That US female group Harem Scarem were tremendous too. The bizarre thing was going through to the lounge between sets with the couches with the dub & reggae on the go.

Yeah was an excellent gig. They done a singing session in the afternoon too got some lovely treasures... Check out the Kreator DVD its rockin'

Death were blinding live. Saw them with Kreator in Calton Studios aeons ago.

but the very early Napalm Death stuff sounded like Crass...

H from Acid Reign is doing well as a stand up comedian these days! They were legends live!

...is the title of the new Skinny Puppy album... The long wait is over at last. Eight years after their last complete work ( "The Process" released in 1996 ) Skinny Puppy have kept their promise, returning with "The Greater Wrong Of The Right" - a comeback that could hardly have turned out more consistent or more convincing. "The Greater Wrong Of The Right" is a breathtaking continuation of the path that the band had embarked on with "The Process". The experiments of the past few years have not been forgotten or faded out : in their condensed, highly energetic form they influence an album that impresses first and foremost with its energy, power and stringency. Although all the elements of the Skinny Puppy history have been integrated into these ten new tracks, their complexity and divergence develop little by little in typical Skinny Puppy style. Demanding up-tempo tracks like "I'mmortal" and "Pro-test" with its brilliant and mesmerising rap elements face spread-out, intricate little masterpieces like " Ghostman", which continue to put the band's imitators in their place. Still, "The Greater Wrong Of The Right" is an album that fortunately lacks any kind of anachronism or supposed nostalgic flair : enlisting as it does the support of a new generation of musicians, like Tool's Danny Carey ( acoustic drums on "Use Less" ) or Wayne Static of Static-X ( vocals on "Use Less") it is, with all its dark brilliance, already one of the most outstanding and innovative albums of the year - and another milestone in the history of this exceptional band. There can be no doubt that Skinny Puppy with their complex soundscapes ( which have influenced whole generations of bands ) count among the spearheading representatives of the so-called 'electronic body music' movement of the mid-Eighties. They were one of the innovative new electro acts of that decade. If Front 242 were the genre's continental heroes, Skinny Puppy could possibly be contenders for industrial music icons on the other side of the Atlantic.
