[kj] OT - The Damned in NYC tonight

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

It IS actually a pretty good line up the Damned have at the moment, but 
it's still hard to get away from the Vanian/Sensible +3 type feeling. 
Actually, 2/5 of the band are ex-English Dogs... never thought I'd see that 
happen!     But like Alex says, Scabies won't be there, and he's part of 
the unholy trinity that needs to be there for it to REALLY be the 
Damned.  But I would recommend people take a chance on 'em these days.

Was it maybe the Phantom Chords you saw Folk Devil? They've never done a 
gig with only Vanian as an original member.  The Phantom Chords were great! 
The (still annoyingly unreleased) Polydor album is f-f-f-f-fantastic!

They're touring with Motorhead in Nov or Dec... now THAT will be a gig to 
see!  Fuck, I just remembered, I did once see a double-bill of Motorhead 
and the Damned, ha ha, must be getting old...

And quite long after the fact, thoroughly enjoyed the Joke at Heaven last 
week... always a joy to behold (well, apart from the Brighter Than... tour 
;)  )
