After years of only thinking I knew Living On The Ceiling and their sublime take on The Day Before You Came, I've started delving into Blancmange's back catalogue. They are so good! Do you know what they're like live because that could be a good one to catch?

Deathstars tomorrow in Utrecht, then again in Antwerp on the 14th, then Carnivore AD in Dusseldorf on the 19th and maybe Creeper Dec 7th in Utrecht or the 9th in Cologne, but that's a serious maybe depending on how tired I will be after work stuff. but at least I am finally going to some gigs. Then February will be Wednesday 13th with Cradle but I really just wanna see Wednesday playing Murderdolls. location TBC will have to fly somewhere.

Circle Jerks and the Descendents this week. We'll see how this goes.

We just are starting to get a good run of bands again like the early 90s.

Following this link, there's a discount on them. Says there's only 6 left, dunno if that's relating to this specific offer or overall? Either way, swoop while the swooping's good

edit : oh yeah, the link https://www.espritdair.com/products/esp ... 3622883462

Update following the Leftfield gig at Leeds Project House last night - as well as a top gig and a top night in great company, it was nice to discover that Project House is a very tidy little venue, well organised, amazing sound which Leftfield acknowledged as they left the stage, and would make a nice venue for The Sisters if they fancied a change of scene from the usual. Only 1000 capacity but they never seem to sell out wherever they play in Leeds. Or maybe as per the Blank Canvas they put 2 nights on if necessary. Just a thought. Now wondering out of idle curiosity what the capacity was for the Blank Canvas, cant have been much more than 1000, likely smaller.

New Plan for the 2024
April: 30seconds to Mars, Hannover
Deine Cousine, Stuttgart
July: Sting, Stuttgart

Thinking what to Do for Lenny Kravitz, any Suggestion?
