Well we did it. This band will be colossal – it’s that good. The first set cooked. The second set cooked. Response was excellent: far stronger that the League of Gentlemen. Comments from the audience:
(from a gardener) I was struck by the sexuality, but also the sophistication.
I was surprised it was derivative. The old tunes showed how far ahead they were.
It reminded me of Talking Heads. But four people were doing live what nine people did.
It was better than the League of Gentlemen.
It was overwhelming.
The band enjoyed it. Padulamus (KC Manager Paddy Spinks) is stomping. TL doesn’t think it’s commercial; I said ‘it’s a Top 30 band’. TL isn’t convinced but will take the cheque. For me, this is the band I’ve spent four years getting ready for. Funnily, I feel I’m an irrelevancy in the group: as if I needn’t have been there.
