Heartland

Whilst looking for opportunities to go and see the mighty NMA this summer/autumn I noticed they are doing a benefit show for FC ST Pauli with, and I quote "August 30th - St Pauli Stadium,Hamburg A benefit show to help keep St Pauli football club going. Loads of acts. Watch out for 'special' friends........."

Anyone have any idea who the "Special Friends" might be? Considering how close our great leader was to the club a few years ago? Probably wishful thinking but hmmmmmm.

I think this means Justin Sullivan & several members of NMA, but...
*fingers crossed*

according to some rumours in hamburg, one of the friends of mr. sullivan who will share the stage at this festival is a guy called andrew eldritch

It seems, it's official!
Andrew will join Justin and three other NMA-Members on stage!



I saw Mr Sullivan earlier this year - he played a very fine version of "Gimme Shelter"...

so, who will be taping this gig, for poor sods like me who can't go and see my two favourite band performing on the same stage at the same time

Oh - I forgot:
The Source

The guy "fcstpauli-Sven" is one of the promoters of this festival, so I think, it IS an official announcement.

Hooray! So he's alive, then. Or relatively, anyway.

No. Fair.

hey, it's a benefit, so i hope, nobody expected a 2-hour show of the sisters army, eh?

So let us know if what's-his-face shows up, okay?

Yeah, I definitely want to hear if AE does a quick turn with NMA.
Didn't someone spot Justin at one of the Leeds gigs?

Ten years ago I probably would have been on a ferry or plane by now.
Still, Eldritch with the Utah Saints remains eight of the best minutes of
live entertainment I have witnessed to date.

Finally, Justin & friends played a fine 30-minutes-gig - and Andrew played bass during most of the songs.
Here is the setlist (as it was posted by Christian W. to Dominion):

setlist:
Snelsmore
Lovesongs
Gimi Shelter (sic!)
Long Goodbye
Inheritance
225
+ one more I could not identify (Strange Brotherhood?)

It was a very nice day at the Millerntor-Stadium, Turbonegro kicked ass!
And no: Andrew didn't sing anything.

Oh - I forgot:
Andrew looks very - ahem - "Psychobilly" now
(Photos will follow during next week)

thx to christian p. & posy for the photo

Let's post this on the "Is Von hot or not".

As if the bass thing wasn't weird enough...

Still, quite Cyber Punk - guess he really is reading too much Gibson!

Thanks Vicus!

My God, he really is playing bass, and without looking at his fingers, too! I have to say, I really like the haircut. Very rockabilly, I agree. Very Jimmy Somerville.

Holy s**t. He was playing bass?

CorpPunk wrote:Holy ****. He was playing bass?

I was aware that he was a reasonable guitar player, although he has
previously stated that he was incapable of playing guitar standing up or
playing and singing at the same time.

It was appear at least some of that copious free time has been put to
good use...

And he's still hot.
