With a new guitarist (supposedly), how likely will there be a warm up gig under a different moniker, like the previous incarnations of Speed Kings and Near Meth Experience? Does anyone remember how those warm-up gigs were announced?

I think it was very much reserved for the "inner circle" - the shaven-headed, sleeveless t-shirt brigade.
Oh, and possible a few of the bikers who "get rough with it" that Eldritch so likes.
Bitter, moi?
Rumour and word of mouth, basically.
Though I guess you can check the local listings for a band whose name is a word play on amphetamines... _________________ You are what you drink - I'm a bitter man! |

Well, both previous NME gigs have been 'announced' on the day on the Dominion list, so if it's going to happen, I guess we'll find out there. Unfortunately word-of-mouth is as likely. I 'found out' about the Fenton 96 gig the day after, ie. the day my ex listened to her answer-machine messages to hear a near-frantic friend telling her to ring me on the day of the gig to get my ass over to the Fenton 'as a matter of life and death'. At the time I lived exactly 30 seconds walk from the Fenton.
But yeah, theoretically they may choose to do 'something' to give Robogeezer a warm-up. |

Keep your eye on the Brighton gig scene. I gather Tom Baker is there, which is as good a reason as any to visit the city. _________________ Minister of Misinformation and Misdirection.

Do you reckon such a gig might be anounced early enough for mainlanders to join the party? _________________ Celebrations done, more to come, hopefully.

So do we have to look out for a band playing in Brighton called something like "Doctor & The Jelly Babies" then?
And a Cramps cover version would definitely be interesting. |

Will anybody of you who's keeping an eye on the Brighton live scene be so kind as to warn the mainland if anything suspicious is coming up? _________________ Celebrations done, more to come, hopefully.
