Want to know who's going to see the reformed Blow Monkeys at the Leadmill on September 2nd - have heard great things about their first album in 18 years.
Loved them in the 80s:)

I had the (mis)fortune of being told that I look(ed) like Dr Robert.

But I've never worn lipstick, honest!

They were quite good though and Out With Her was my first CD single.

Think they did play the limit and its probably better to look like Dr Robert than Dr Jeckyll!!

Superb. I've not heard the new work yet but Radio2 have been playing the new stuff by ABC.

I heard some on Chris Evans the other week... I may have to see if the gig fairy takes pity on me then. :)

Always thought they were a seriously underrated band. I still adore Wait and would love to dance to it in a club now but I've not heard it anywhere but my own collection.
