  1. I liked Carter a lot for a while, and those are two damn fine albums they're showcasing. The time they completely stole the Reading Festival from headliners James is up there in my all time top ten gigs. Dunno that they'll have aged that well though. I saw them not that long after the Reading triumph playing (sans drum machine and Jon Beast) to a half full Lemon Tree and thinking they were pretty pish.

    Living in the past? What do I know, I'm away to see Magazine on Monday. :laughing:

  2. Sad news indeed. As a teenage punk rocker, The Cramps introduced me to a genre of music I 'd probably have never looked the way of. I saw them play at The Capitol and the Music Hall back in the day and they were both fantastic gigs. Lux was a brilliant frontman who gave 100% every time. RIP.

  3. first festival experience?

    Futurama 1982 at a sports centre in North Wales. The gig was on the ice rink, with camping on the football & rugby pitches. Headlined by The Damned and New Order with the likes of Southern Death Cult, Dalek I, the Comsat Angels, Nico (yes, the Nico), The Alarm, Sex Gang Children and the Danse Society elsewhere on the bill. Fucking great weekend.

  4. Not a Clash fan, but I regret not going to see Suicide :(

    Ha! I wish I could say I was foresighted enough to appreciate them at that early stage but I, as a 15 year old rabid Clash fan, pelted them in gob, beer and broken bits of Music Hall chairs like 90% of the crowd there that night. :laughing::laughing:
