[kj] 80's tournament

[Janean Lancaster]

Coo.  I'm seeing Numan in Manchester on Saturday; I've never seen him
before.  I'm looking forward to it now.  (I was thinking about not going
because I hate going to gigs on Saturdays.)

But for me the winner of the "80's Tournament" is Depeche Mode.  Stop
laughing!  They are my favourite band - please don't take the piss...

Cheers,
Janean

on a whim, I went to see KJ's label mate Gary Numan at Leeds t'other  
night in what I've decided is a triangular tournament between the  
80's golden oldies over the next few days.

Numan has surprisingly set a high bar, it's the first time I've seen  
him & his set was dark & atmospheric with the new numbers from  
Jagged, his older stuff played in a higher tempo & more powerful way.  
Numan himself had plenty of energy & his voice has been well looked  
after, he sounded great. 8/10

next up Killing Joke, Nottingham Rock City on Saturday. earlier in  
the season I would have thought they'd have pissed this, but lack of  
form from the friendlies in Europe, plus the omission of a couple of  
star players makes me fear the worst.

after that Sisters of Mercy at Leeds. there to make the numbers up.  
surely ?
