[kj] Hugh Cornwell / Rattus Norvegicus live

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

We would have loved to go but we don't like El Cid. We were there two  
months ago and hanging with Mark Burgess of The Chameleons while he DJ and the  
drinks are too watered down and pricey. My buddy Danny DJ that gig by the 
way. 
 

Kevin Haskin's is the nicest guy and you should have said what's up to him. 
 My wife and I saw him a couple times a couple years ago, once being at 
when Mick  Jones's band Carbon/Silicon played at The Troubadour and the second 
at The  Damned on Halloween at The House Blues. 
 
Cheers,

Went and saw Hugh Cornwell last night at El  Cid in L.A. last night. He had 
Clem Burke on drums and Fish on bass. Fucking  great show! 2 sets – 2nd set 
was the Rattus Norvegicus album in  it’s entirety. Great sound and the 
crowd was having a blast. Saw Billy Duffy  walking around and I heard Kevin 
Haskins was there too. If anyone has the  chance to see this lineup I would 
definitely suggest going. Hugh still has it.  Standing in front watching Clem 
Burke play drums was a joy for me since I rate  him high as far as rock 
drummers are concerned (check out his drumming in that  Target Video “Iggy Pop 
Live in San Francisco”) and the bass player Fish killed  it playing “Goodbye 
Toulouse” probably my favorite of the night. Since there’s  no chance of a 
true Stranglers reunion – this show was the next best  thing.
