Old stories about the gigs we went. Think about Rotterdam New Pop with Hazel O Connor, Department S and the Ramones and such like. And with them we went off to the Zwolle venue called Hedon. Never was here before. It looked like a quite new building. And well organized also I guess. The support band was Venus Fly Trap. Their sound reminded me a little to Swell Maps with long tracks. Not bad at all. Wire started with a new song. "Circumspect" I heard later. There were I believe 4 new songs. And they'd compared to the Send recordings more melody. Before I start copying a lesser version of Paul and Keith's review. There were 3 encores here. And a splendid Pink Flag. I believe I had not heard this that long. The audience was tame, even shy Colin thought. "Why that distance between stage and audience?" he asked. But yes we are here from above the rivers. We don t move when we are asked to :)) Bunch of independent individual autonomous .... Glad Leicester's Sean and Mark were here again. Would be great trying to catch a gig with you there Curious how Manchester will be.... jj ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
