Wall of Mouths

Couldn’t make it down to this sadly - have to admit I wasn’t encouraged to break my prior engagement when I saw the lack of early material on the “setlist”, but I do like the sound of this Mike Abstract carry on! :-)

Any video of them and the better acts before?

That band Silhouette are pretty good, the singer has some voice on her.

Ha, cool! Noticed a few young uns in the crowd - there was a kid of about 12/13 on the front row who kept looking over his shoulder at the crowd in what appeared to be a mixture of bemusement and genuine fear. First gig perhaps?

Therapy? - warping fragile little minds since 1990.

Also, forgot to mention that during the breakdown in Summer of Hate Andy threw in a quick verse from Sign Of The Times by Prince. Quality.

Er, actually yes I did - The Head That Tried To Strangle Itself and Enjoy The Struggle. Can’t remember if they played Somnambulist?

Great performance by T?, despite a few sound problems when the PA kept cutting out. Oddly static crowd save for that one dreadlocked guy who was pogoing even between songs (or so it seemed!) but the band still got plenty of love.

As for the set, one of the best old/new/odd mixes I’ve seen them play. Can’t remember the order but they definitely played the following numbers:

I Told You I Was Ill
Blacken The Page
Bad Excuse For Daylight
Crooked Timber
Exiles (this was incredible)
Magic Mountain (went down really well and sounded amazing)
Clowns Galore
Unbeliever
Turn (amazing!)
Innocent X
Fantasy Bag (awesome!)
Summer Of Hate (can’t believe they pulled this one out of the crypt, class!)
Polar Bear
Potato Junkie
Screamager
Nowhere
Stories (this was great, crowd loved it)
Teethgrinder
Die Laughing

Did I miss any?
