Wall of Mouths

Personally i feel that T? are way ahead of the other acts you mention Carl, the latest album being a career high, as opposed to the other acts peddling the same tired back catalogue. Skunk Anansie i never saw the appeal in anyway. Surely it’d be a step back for T? to mingle with these also rans?

Yeah, take Wildhearts out and that would be cool. I have to admit, I don’t like Terrorvision or Skunk Anansie as much at the mighty T? but I have all their albums and the three of them in one night would be good :-)
Then again, as Dan said, the other two aren’t in T?’s league, so you could get an even better gig with other bands involved. Bush are back together now with a new album coming out, so as one of my other favourite UK rock bands, I’d love to see them and T? at the same gig.

Ah, I was wondering, to be honest. When Gavin was trying to get them back together in 2007/8 one member didn’t want to be part of it, and it all fell through - so I was unsure whether he’d changed his mind, or they’d decided to just do it without him… so it’s not the full band then?

Still, Rossdale has kept playing a few Bush classics with Institute and at his solo shows, so I’m sure he’ll be able to put on a good show no matter how much of the original band is with him. I’ve never seen them live either, but I’m hoping to see them when they tour the UK next.

First two terrorvision albums were great, especially how to make friends. Wildhearts i loved to death, but i’ve found everything they’ve released since fishing for luckies (thr proper 6 track mail order edition!) to be, well, poor, the odd song aside. As i’ve said Skunk Anansie i’ve never liked. I just think that in the, god, 14 years or so (?) since these other acts released their best stuff, T? have given us SPYF, never apologise, and the aforementioned crooked timber. T? are pretty peerless to me these days.

As far as half big British bands who were big in the 90’s go, I can’t think of anyone else.

Now, The Almighty and T? WOULD be a gig to see!! :)

If Therapy? Wildhearts, Skunk Anansie and Terrorvision were on the same bill I would have to look over my shoulder to be sure I wasn’t heading through the pearly gates. What an awesome idea.

Terrorvision are definite back catalogue peddlars - I’ve seen their “last ever” gig about 5 times. Wildhearts continue to record and release good, interesting new music. And Chutzpah! which was neither interesting nor good, Skunk Anansie I missed first time round, but saw their comeback tour last year and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

As mentioned, Therapy? are peerless even amongst such company, but sadly I doubt they would have the pleasure of them headlining - in fact it woul dlikely be a dogfight between them and Terrorvision for the opening slot :o(

Still - book the gig and I’m there!

How To Make Friends is the only Terrorvision album that I don’t particularly like. Well, I don’t mind it, but it’s not as good as their others. I know they generally have at least a couple of cheesy songs per album, but HTMFAIP had more than any other - I’d say about half the album is good, half is kind of annoying :-)

Other great UK bands that didn’t split up in the 90s include The Cure and Porcupine Tree. Sadly, that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

i’d love to see this tour on a roatating headliner kinda deal with terrorvision opening, so t? the wildhearts and skunk anansie would all get an equal length set each night and the order of the 3 main acts would be rotated each night, but in reality skunk anansie would probably be the headliners each night.

pitchshifter certainly mellowed out after www…
Not seen them in a long time, and I was a massive fan!

Talking of Terrorvision, does anyone have a decent quality version of a b-side they did called “No Questions”?
