It was good. Five star though? No.

Keef will not be converted tonight but he will enjoy it.


I found it an eeency bit lacklustre. They played the songs well, they played great songs. I spent quite a while in an odd whirl of memories of 1989, even bumping into one or two of the old crowd, which was odd to say the least.


I don't know what as missing but it was noones fault. They're old, kim deal has turned into your favourite aunt with a dash of Carrie Fisher and Valerie Singleton thrown in. Frank is, well cuddly. The other guys are cool on the way that only drummers from the rolling stones or half man half biscuit can attain.


I just felt old in there. Old. So.....tired. Mind you hendricks martinis til one in the morning didn't help.

Lacklustre my arse.


They were fecking awesome.

I don?t care how cool and cynical you are, even to *Bob*ish levels, you would have had to admit they were brilliant.


Definite nostalgia act though. The memories of misspent youth came back in waves so much so that Debaser brought a tear to my eye.

"off whirl of memories of 1989". Therein lies the problem, in 1989 I started secondary school, and wasn't remotely in to any bands. Within 2 years, my mate had gotten me in to stuff like Black Sabbath. Had the pixies been anywhere on my young radar, I may have become a fan, but they weren't.

They weren?t like some old reformed acts I?ve seen where the band just go through the motions. They were fun and fresh and the songs had the same energy and life to them as they did coming out of my twin tape deck ghetto blaster in 1991.


Frank Black has a voice and vocal range the size of the Grand Canyon, a shaky pan across the breadth of the Grand Canyon on black and white celluloid. You hear it on the CDs but it somehow comes alive when it?s live.


As does the blistering riffage. You get a real sense of how influenced by punk* the guitar is.


*That?s punk the genre of underground music spanning over 30 years not punk the flash in the pan fashion once peddled by Westwood and Mclaren.

    • Hi fellow forum-ers,  I am in need of getting out of a (mutually) toxic relationship with my husband, but cannot afford to buy or rent anything half decent in the area. I would like for the children not having to change schools and friendship group, their training club etc to maintain some level of stability through the storm. I am looking for a house share with someone in the same position as me who is willing to share rent/bills/chores and... life! Or, maybe, a not so young person who needs help with cleaning, washing, shopping and cooking and has a couple of bedrooms to spare and can do with some extra cash. My children are 17, 14 and 10 well behaved and used to be respectful around people's houses (we're seasoned home exchangers). The eldest is in a fishing school (don't ask) outside London and only comes home for the weekend. The other 2 are into sports, so often training or in competitions during the week/weekend.  If you are interested or know someone who is, please DM me. I know it's a long shot, but I hope somewhere out there someone is able to help us. Also, if you're being through this and can offer advice, that is also welcomed. In case you're wondering, my husband is disabled and won't leave the house (and it seems unfair that we ask him to). 
    • Hi, My automatic nissan juke, much to my shock, having only done 50,000 miles needs a new gear box. Trying to decide to replace gear box or buy a second hand car - always thought Japanese cars were reliable and guess I have just been unlucky. Any advice greatly received - to buy a second hand car or replace gear box. If buying second hand would one suggest dealership or private garage ?? Thank you.
