Re: On the Beach
Re. the phrase "the beach": I am increasingly wondering if Eldritch is using "the beach" as a metaphor for being on stage at a gig. Firstly, there's the line on the official site: This website contains ninety-seven million words, which are "REDEMPTION" and " BEACH " ...where the word BEACH links to ...

Re: Ben Christo and levelling up
Yeah, All fair comment. I suppose where I'm coming from is trying to imagine how I'd feel walking onto the stage with Von to try to carry off the gig on Saturday night as Ben did. Like, Chris C is there in the back ground to run the 1s and 0s, but otherwise it's just two people, one of whom is very...

Re: 2023-09-22 The Roundhouse, London, UK
I didn't see any of the drama on the right hand side of the stage with Dylan (only heard about it in the Enterprise after the gig). Very much enjoyed the re-arranged FALAA - almost back to the old arrangement. Von was definitely wandering the barricades on the left hand side of the stage, seemed to ...

Re: Eldritch has become Billy Bragg
My view of AE is that of a Hobbesian Capitalist... very pragmatic and every man for himself. I see very little of the compassionate left in his lyrics. Well, he's always said he was left-wing (and has clarified that as 'old school Labour'), he put something on the Sisters website just before a UK g...

Re: 2023 set list: your hopes and fears?
Personally I'd like to hear a lot more of the new-new (Dylan Smith era) songs some of the old-new songs (top picks would be Romeo Down, Summer, We Are The Same Susanne) a few songs from the pre-1985 singles (Alice, ToL are probably expected, but a fast Body Electric, a droning Heartland, or a raw Fl...
