[kj] support bands good or bad?

[Bette Dillinger]

That's really amusing.....because as I was reading your post I kept saying "why hasn't he mentioned the VERVE?????"  Holy shit, Batman, I would be out of my gourd (more than usual) to see that bill!
 
Off topic about the Verve, maybe the musos on here can help me.  I see SO much "fundamentalist Christian" stuff about the Verve now.  Just check out the comments under an old song on metube.  Like I got into this fight with this NC band about how the song "Blue", which we both were going to cover, and I felt it had NOTHING to do with religion or Jebus or anything of that nature.  They shook their head and said I was far from the flock.  This NC band assured me that "A Storm in Heaven" is ALL about the Bible.  WTF?  They even had shit like "well, this is a line from the gospel of Richard Ashcroft".....I did get some of his stuff right after their breakup and he sounded much different, but still, I don't see this appropriation as valid at all.

Best support slots as far as I am concerned for KJ had to have been (although I am very biased) The Chameleons (Altho the Joke soon pissed them off from touring with them) & Cocteau Twins (Brixton Academy)...I did like Skunk Anansie opening for KJ too.
 
I think its difficult finding suitable opening bands for KJ to be honest, to my ears though I think The Chameleons were a perfect choice (more harmoneous, but same tension and angst), would have thought that Kitchens Of Distinction would have been a good opener too for the Joke, and possibly even at least in the early days The Verve, or as they were better known back then Verve.

somewhere in the back of my addled brain a voice says what about  voice of the beehive at manchester polytechnic in 81 or 82????? if they ever did, and i.m not sure, bue Red Beat or Ski Patrol would've been who i'd most liked to.......afraid i was too focussed on the bar before any joke gig to even notice!!_______________________________________________Gathering mailing listGathering at misera.nethttp://four.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/gathering
