Alex,

I have been following them since I first heard of them 3 or so years ago and
they would have free MP3's on their website before they came out with the cd
"The Last Post". It is a pretty good album with tunes that somewhat could
sound like The Clash. We actually went to see them in the beginning of Dec. at
The Troubadour here in L.A. and it was a great gig! Packed to the gills with
late 30's and 40's and it was sold out. It was nice for they were all adults
who saw The Clash or didn't. Mick was having a great time telling stories and
dueling with Tony James. ; ) They sold the CD there and I bought one that
came with a free autograph poster for $15! Quite the bargain! The shirts were
not all so grand and went for $ 25 for which I did not buy.

After the gig we went to the alley way behind the venue and got to meet old
Mick with two autograph hounds who looked like hippies that were getting
Clash records signed to sell on EBAY I suppose? Totally not your regular fans if
I may add. After he was done I introduced myself to him and told him the firs
time I heard The Clash was on the radio station KROQ when I was 12 in 1979
and how I never got to see them play live back in 1982 or 1983 but did see
them on the old Saturday Night Live clone show "Fridays" were they played 4
songs! He was impressed for I said seeing that show is what got me into Punk
Rock and then I shaved my head a year and a half later! To see Mick smile and
laugh was classic!

We also saw and talked to Kevin Haskins of Bauhaus and was the most humble
and nicest guy to talk to you! A real straight up cat! I told him of the story
were my punk buddies snuck into the dressing room at The Roxy on Sunset Blvd.
via the ground and how they were in there eating their food and drinking
their drinks when they came in and caught them! Where they soon after smoked
them out and got to see the band on the side of the stage. After I told him he
said.. "Those Fuckers!" with a big smile and laugh! That was classic! By the
way the new Bauhaus "Gone Away White" is not so bad. I have to listen to it
again but it has 10 songs. I got it off Soulseek which I was surprised to see
it was already out there. Peter's voice is really good on it and carry's it
in some songs really for a long time! I think some of you Bauhaus fans will
like it and some may not. After all I think "Burning From The Inside" is
better a swan song so go figure.

Has anyone heard their record? I have it, but most confess to not having
gotten around to actually listening to it. Afraid what I might find there.


Personally speaking, I was bored to tears by that Good, Bad, Queen disc.
Awful.
