[kj] (OT) Brian James w/ The Damned One-Off Gig in London

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

They're not touring or playing as The Damned... just doing this gig to 
celebrate the 30th anniversary.  There was almost a full reunion and world 
tour, but it all fell apart. You think the internal wranglings etc of 
Killing Joke are bad? Try the Damned!
Reckon this gig will be a good 'un... about time Scabies was back pounding 
the drums (last time I saw him he was playing for Donovan!!). Not so sure 
about the vocals though!

Oh, and the dress code for the gig raised a chuckle... "no bats or tutu's".
