Heartland

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.

A few Mesh tracks wouldn't be out of place on there, it has to be said.

I really like them though as well. Slightly goffick Mode imitators... just can't get enough of 'em...





... coat....

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?

MB...must be something to do with a black celebration or something surely?

Cold weather. People snuggle up to each other, trying to keep warm...

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.

I'm sure there's a joke about a Sisters chorus and a Welshman in that band name, but I can't quite put my finger on it

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?

Cheers for the greetings. am now recovered from last nights celebrations and have to face work again in the morning. ho hum.

They're pretty good I reckon, though I haven't heard them for a few years.
