Really? I saw Bow Wow Wow about 5 years ago to a modest sized crowd in the US, and would undergo a voluntary amputation to see them again. Undoubtedly the best band ever to dance to, along w/Bad Manners.Too bad both bands are long forgotten in the USA...(actually Bad Manners was never known here--saw themaround 1983 in Ohio, and the audience numbered about THIRTY. Still, Buster happily threw a bucket of water on the crowd!

4. Red Lorry Yellow Lorry5. The Crack were pretty good6. Crown of Thorns were watchable I still like Danse Society but cannot believe they have reformed – not sure if that is going to work. Bow Wow Wow are touring too – could be interesting. From: gathering-bounces at misera.net [mailto:gathering-bounces at misera.net] On Behalf Of folk devil

Subject: Re: [kj] 1995 UK Openers: Yikes No one really opens for KJ and survives, but some other notably questionable choices were Aztec Camera and Doctor & the Medics.Then, of course, Killing Joke opened to Motley Cure not too, too long ago, so let's all be kind.

And I thought Stabbing Westward in the states were painful.

I believe there are some Skunk defenders on this list but i thought they were just an image in search of songs. Shootyz Groove were purveyors of interminable sub-Chili Peppers white boy funk that gave me frequent dry heaves.

Q: Who puts a seemingly disparate bill like this together?
A: The label
