In honour of my 31st birthday (TODAY ) I went to the Black Celebration gig in London last night with a few mates. should have been Apoptygma Berzerk headling, but after they cancelled and were replaced by Killing Joke, who also then cancelled, mesh were promoted to headline act.
Got there a bit late and only caught the last few bands:
Sheep on Drugs were truely awful. I only knew a few of their tracks and was quite hopeful but I think this was probably one of the worst live performances I have ever seen.
Rico on the other hand was excellent - unlike the band that played after (whose name i forget) who were basically 2 guys on drums and synths playing a number of tracks that all seemed to blend in into one. Seemed to be to some peoples tastes - just not mine!
Mesh's promotion to headline act was more than justified. This was the 4th time I have seen them now and they just keeping getting better. the new tracks they previewed were excellent - surely its time they find the fame and recogintion they deserve?
Any other mesh fans in the heartland world?

Damn I thought this thread was going to be about the Depeche Mode album.
Happy birthday anyway.

Happy birthday to you!
I have said that to 4 people today!
07-11...hmm, what was happening on a certain date 9 months prior to this date that caused so many birthdays on this date?

Sheep On Drugs are still a favourite of mine. At least until I'd heard the latest album which isn't very good at all.
Lee should really call it quits I think.

Didn't Mesh support the Sisters on the Event Horizon tour? I also remember them having some kind of connection to the Sisters - not sure. Do you have any idea QB?
