I'll be there – assuming we manage to put this Zombie Apocalypse behind us before March next year!

With parts of Europe going into lockdown in the last fortnight, and cases rising I can't see these gigs going ahead in 5 months time.

The best bits of that plus the best bits of First Chapter/GOM might have been tasty. i love the songs on the first 2 m*****n 12"". what's not to like? :von: Personally I like "The First Chapter" as a record, but only a few tracks on GOM. For me, GOM is already falling over itself with daft pop aspi...

Upon reading "Salad Daze", the biggest and perhaps strangest admission by Wayne, for me, was that the only time he ever felt "cool" was when playing for the Sisters. To me that's quite an admission by someone who went on the have a fairly long and successful career as a singer/guitarist in their OW...

This is a strange website full of quotes from “famous” people, including our very own Uncle Andy. https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/andrew-eldritch-quotes Has a stack of Eldritch sound bites and quotes on. The site doesn’t state the source of each quote (when viewed on mobile anyway) but they see...

I've got to say that I simply cannot believe Andrew will go to the undoubtedly enormous effort of "finishing"a whole selection of these new songs, and releasing an album. There is nothing to drive him to do so. No reason to release an album. Depeche Mode releases an album, and its just a sweetener t...

Does anyone know if there are likely to be dates on the weeks either side of Easter ?

The m*****n

This is it isn't it. I feel a bit sorry for Wayne, he keeps trying, but surely he knows by now that it's never going to happen?

yes but Von doesnt want to work with wayne. Von didnt even want Wayne at a concert guestlist, ha ha This is it isn't it.

I was front by stage and left.

Was a stonking show, better than Melbourne yesterday for me.

Sound was good and solid where I was standing. Guitarists had fun during oncores.

Lots of crowd participation front centre, towards end of set.
Reminded me of some gigs in London 97~ 2000.

Lovely weather in Melbourne today... Sunny and 26c

See you at the show

I think the Enmore has about 2500 standing capacity, which is more than the Forum (Melbourne venue).

1910 Theatre. Large standing area downstairs, seating upstairs.

Newtown area is a bit of a hipster enclave, plus a sizable gay and lesbian community. Bars, restaurants and weirdos abound.

does an audio recording of this entire show exist for download anywhere please ?

Razzmatazz 2 is much Smaller Venue than Razzmatazz 1, where I saw them play in 2006. Razzmatazz 2 venue is part of a large old industrial building. From the outside it provides plenty of atmosphere. Small venue, small stage. looks like somewhere they might have played in their very early days. No su...

The one year I actually think about planning a trip to Europe in advance to coincide with some festivals ...and it's tumble weeds. Typical.

Does anyone know of any unconfirmed plans ? e.g. Mera Luna etc ?

thanks for the review & glad you had a good show

ozjohn1, I'm as sad as you - I noticed it too

in Sydney (sound wave) I saw hot metal & meth plus the bastard groovy
T shirt on display.

despite some hunting about - I couldn't find anything else

Floorshow in broad daylight at Crystal Palace 1993, supporting Depeche Mode.
