Killing Joke is awesome but Motley Crue? Not so much. I don't > think either audience would respect the others in this tour. They were > opposite ends of the spectrum in ttheir day. Maybe they think they'll draw double the audience? In a way that appeals, sell twice as many tickets, all the KJ fans clear out after KJ leaving more room for the Motley Crue tribe. However, KJ has it hard if the Crue fans are rude during their performance. Certainly a spectacle! ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Dec 2004 07:06:40 -0600 (CST) From: amyr@jump.net (Amy Moseley Rupp) Subject: Re: seven-seas Killing Crue > I saw the Surreal Life TV show with Vince Neil, he looked like Jon > Lovitz. Those metal guys don't age well. That is an understatement. The "reunion" tour is scheduled at very large arenas in the UK, and the ticket prices are quite high. Supposedly Raven (the bassist for KJ) and Nikki Sixx (bassist for MC) are friends. Raven was also friends with the band Pantera, two of whose members formed Damageplan. I wasn't a fan but I'm absolutely stunned at the assassination of guitarist Dimebag Darrell in Columbus Ohio earlier in the week. And even more saddened that one television commenter here seemed to think 'good riddance' to anyone who'd take the name 'Dimebag.' ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Dec 2004 09:19:24 -0500 From: Red Subject: seven-seas What a shame! This is a beautiful venue!! Saw Mac there. :-( ~~~~~~ Union Chapel Project to Close - Londons much loved Venue Union Chapel Project will close its doors to music and arts activities at the end of January 2005. We are really sorry to have to pass on this sad news which broke today and we hope that you will forward this on our behalf to people you know that have supported or attended the Union Chapel in the past but may not be on our mailing list. It is with great regret that the directors of Union Chapel Project (UCP) announce that UCP will be closing at the end of January 2005. UCP will therefore no longer be accepting bookings thus ending over thirteen years as a popular, award-winning, contemporary, international music and arts venue. Weve faced some serious blows over the last 12 months from the local residents association and the council which threatened our future. We responded positively and actively to these challenges and strategies were in place to trade out of the difficulties. However, a recent vote by the Church membership to ban the consumption of alcohol in main auditorium, with immediate effect, was carried by a small majority. We asked for time to establish alternative income streams to offset the financial repercussions of this ban and the consequent damage to the bar lead economy. An appeal against this decision was turned down by the Church. This has lead to a breakdown of trust and confidence between UCP and the Church and under company and charity law UCP has no alternative but to cease trading We are devastated by this situation. The only way through would have been to have the secular life of the building put on an equal par alongside the religious. To renegotiate this position would have been a long process assuming there was the will to do it and it would have taken too long given the fragility of the financial situation following a very tough year for the venue. We have loved working here and the loss to London and the many communities, who view it as home for their performance, is tragic. There will be a huge hole in what London has to offer marginalised people who have been working with the Project for many years and a very special programme of international music has also to find another home. The board hopes the homelessness project, will continue to function on the premises of Union Chapel under the banner of a new charity. The arts programme will continue to be funded but will operate outside of the Union Chapel from a new venue in early 2005. The Board hopes that the roof renovations will go ahead next year as planned. It would be a tragedy if this architecturally important building were allowed to decay beyond repair, but there is a strong chance this may happen without UCP and the audiences who have given so generously already to the campaign to put a roof on this unique and multifaceted listed building, venue, arts project, homeless project and church. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS? WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK ON THIS SITUATION AND WHAT YOU THINK WILL BE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF THIS DECISION SO WE CAN PASS ON YOUR OPINIONS TO THE RELEVANT PEOPLE THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD. WHO KNOWS WITH ENOUGH PUBLIC PROTEST AND OPINION THE CHAPEL COULD REEMERGE IN THE FUTURE AND ON A STRONGER FOOTING FOR DEVELOPING ITS VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION TO THE ARTS. WE ALSO WANT TO DOCUMENT YOUR TESTMONIES OF COMING TO THE UNION CHAPEL FOR POSTERITY; WE WILL GET YOUR OPINIONS POSTED ONTO THE WEBSITE AS SOON AS WE CAN. Please email to feedback@unionchapel.org.uk. For events between now and 22nd January please visit our whats on page Union Chapel Projects final event will be held on the 22nd January 2005: I Could read the Sky - A life in Music, A life in Words.
