Concert Tonight ...Levellers / Wonderstuff... Excited !!

[TinTrump]

Hope it's an excellent gig; got some Levellers music on the laptop but not seen them live. Conversely saw the Wonderstuff around 88 or 89 but "The 8 Legged Groove Machine" is on vinyl in the loft.

Look forward to the review.

What's this about a band? What's your typical reportoire ?

I front a local covers band - everything from The Clash, and The Who, to Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon - We even play Amarillo

This is partially why my life is so busy. I have rehearsal at 7:30pm, until 12 - then I have work from 7:30am tomorrow. My wife thinks it's great though......

then I have work from 7:30am tomorrow.

"work" at 7:30am? Isn't that a bit early to start calling and fishing for 2 references?

Just to let anyone know who's interested that the gig was awesome! As expected, I actually preferred the Wonderstuff (the support act) rather than the Levellers, but they were very good too.

Incidentally, on the way out from the ClientCo last night, mentioned I was going to a gig to an ol' tart in the office and told her I was watching the Levellers........she replied "Who? Level 42, I love them" Hmmmm.

By the way, I'm never drinking again...

Any one even heard of them ??!!

I thought that half of the Wonder Stuff were dead now.

I saw a twentieth anniversary reissue of the Eight Legged Groove Machine in a record shop a few months back and bought it immediately without looking closely because my original was on cassette and I haven't played it for twenty years and have no idea where it is now. I took it home and only then discovered that it was a re-recording. Good, but it lacked the atmosphere of the original.

I could remember all the words and was singing along on first listen though.

Takes me back to the early 90s. I'm watching 'There's only one way of life' on YouTube and loving it.

Back then, all of a sudden, everyone became a hippy. A few people I know stayed like that, still got no real job, white mans dreadlocks and smoke up like a chimney. Most people reverted to type in the mid-90's though.

I saw the Wonderstuff back in the day. Their gigs used to go off but to me they were a pantomime act.

Christ are The Levellers really still alive?

Last saw them in Paris 1994.
