Anyone seen them in the last few years?

We're seeing them tomorrow night in Sydney, should be a hoot, I'm getting Gothed up for it.

I know Dave Vanian and the Captain are still in the band, so that's all good.

"Machine Gun Etiquette" is still one of my fave albums from that time.

Sue, they are touring the USA, I know you have good taste in music.

I can't figure out if I'm curious or horrified by what that would look like.

I think it's the guy in the picture who looks like a 70's local TV Creature Feature host...

Yeah, I saw they were coming to my town in May; I'm going to take a pass on this show. 60-something-year-old rockers doing songs from deep in the last century is not really my thing. These days I'm sticking with small-time local bar bands. Maybe I'm jaded, but there just aren't any touring acts that I really have any interest in seeing at the moment.

58 yr old corpse.


Mixed feelings really. It was a great and nostalgic night, they played all their hits, and more famous tracks.

The captain was a hoot as ever, and his playing is exceedingly good.

The rest of the band were on form too.

Dave Vanian just didn't seem to connect with the crowd though.

Me and Hens had a fab long weekend.

We stayed in the trendy/hipster/studenty Newtown area, and caught T2 on the Sunday, which rounded off the weekend nicely.
