Thought of another one...
Anyone remember Cud?

Probably not.

But they played a little gig at the Wharehouse in Derby - roadtesting 'Showbiz' and it was great. Carl (the singer) threw pots of glitter all over us and I was washing it out of my hair for weeks.

Also, Some tiny club in Birmingham when I went to watch a metal band called Mordred - who were fucking ace, but more memorably they were supported by a band called Scat Opera - they had a big, mean meaty fucker on guitar who used an axe that looked by a piece of swiss cheese and 1 single boss distortion pedal.

I believe that was the single best guitarist performance I have ever seen. Next day I rushed out and bought their album (fantastic) and one of those pedals...funny though, I could never make it sound that good.

I should give Captain Placid a buzz - he has seen some gigs that would make your armpit hairs fizzle with pure fucking-mega-brilliance!

Oh @ TGB - I also saw Chilis at the Ricoh...I thought 'meh' the whole way through and (yet)again the PA was like the contents of the '2 girls, 1 cup' cup
