[kj] Rebellion Review

[jane.shadforth at shell.com]

Equally unfathomable was the comment from the friend of John's who told me after the show she thought "KJ were boring, and the singer had no stage presence"!! What did she know? Was she watching a different band to the rest of us??? I thought Coleman had a glint in his eye and a fire for performing that I hadn't seen for a long while...
 
Didn't see the burlesque, but isn't it generally thought to be a little more humourous, stylish, tasteful and glamourous than your average striptease??

Hi Jane,

Goldblade were as good as ever.

I was totally and utterly sober at 9:30pm. But that would explain why I can't remember anything after the show. Iain lead me astray? To be honest I am known to go on to tequila, so it was probably my fault.

Best moments were KJ, 999, Goldblade and by Frank Sidebottom. The usual.

Oddest moment was discovering that a lad I know quite well was playing guitar for Bay City Rollers. 

Mosy annoying moment, walking into the ballroom to watch KJ as the crowd from the Dickies were walking out. I bumped into a girl I half know who was walking out. I pointed out she was going the wrong way, to which she replied Killing Joke are a bag of sh*£. Not my thing I can take but bag of sh*£?

Anybody else see the Burlesue thingy? Is Burlesque just code for stripper then?

Brian.

Forgot to say - it was good to see Jon, Chris, Brian, Lisa & Gary, Mick Head and other KJ Fans/gatherers whose names have slipped out of my mind. Apologies to those I've neglected to mention, Jane
 
Brian - how was the head Monday?? Lesley let it slip that you and Iain were enjoying Tequila's (I think), during KJ, which could explain your transition from coherent to otherwise over the 90 mins or so...

John was pretty much the first person I spoke to after KJ's set.... Both he and Rob, (Goldblade's drummer), were somewhat impressed. 
 
I concurred - the sound could have been better at times, but it was great to see the band really enjoying themselves up there on stage, together with a good vibe in the audience... and one or two decent songs to bop too ---- had a great night!!

P.S.: I gather Goldblade also laid on a fantastic show earlier in the weekend, but I was still in Canada at the time.
