[kj] On & Off Topic: The Tubes & KJ friendly night in Manchester

[Shadforth, Jane SUKOP-OFI/3521]

Ok - serious stuff over.
 
Saw The Tubes on Saturday in Manchester's Hop & Grape. I'd never seen them before, (except on the telly - OGWT I think back in the 80s), so didn't really know what to expect. I agree WPOD was fantastic, but I have to say the rest of the 2 hour show was all a bit cabaret for me after a while... with too many lengthy instrumental pieces while Fee changed into various wild & wonderful costumes. All in all an entertaining night though.
 
Afterwards we ended up going to the Thirsty Scholar near Oxford Road station. If any of you are ever in Manchester on a Saturday or Sunday night, I would highly recommend this late-licenced, (free entry), pub. The DJ, Mark loves Killing Joke, and soon after we walked in played Metallica's "The Wait", Foo Fighters "Requiem", then KJ themselves' "Butcher". He also played at least 2 other joke tracks later on, along with a great mix of other alternative & rock sounds. I haven't heard such a good DJ playlist outside our own house for a very long time. Seemed a really nice bloke too - he's not on the gathering, but I said I'd give him a plug.
 
Jane

Anyone see The Tubes there, the night before? White Punks on Dope was entertaining!

hi Steve, 
 
thought the Head were on fine form and a good set list although still wish I could hear them do the track Motorhead.  Are you sure it was me though I didn't get in the venue until after they had gone off so missed them.

Just a note to say anyone catching the head on tour shouldnt be disappointed - saw 'em in Brum on Thursday - saw Mr Cooper by the bar during Girlschool - sorry I didnt get to come across and say "hi" but it was packed out even by that early time!!
