[kj] KJ live @ Metropolis Studios Saturday Sept 8, 2012

[Neil Perry]

Hopefully there are not enough mugs out there willing to pay for this
nonsense and it
will be quietly cancelled.

But it leaves a bitter taste.

Those Underworld/Barfly gigs are some of my happiest KJ-related memories -
storming gigs,
the band happy and friendly and hanging around in the pubs before and
after... now imagine
being asked to fork out £200 for same.
