[kj] Openers:

[Alexander Smith]

Memorable support bands I'd never heard/seen before seeing them open  
for someone else:

Good:
The Secret Machines (opening for crappy Interpol).
The Volcano Suns (opening for The Wedding Present)
The Dwarves (opening for FEAR)
Pulp (opening for Blur)

Bad:
Far, far, far too many to cite.

Alex in NYC
