I have an older brother who was at the Camden Electric Ballroom gig in 1984/85 which (I think) was directly after the North London Poly gig which ended in a riot. My brother’s 2 word summation of the gig - Scary atmosphere.
Yes, would have loved it if they would have made Psychocandy Part 2 rather than the damp Darklands LP. Gigs as antagonistic confrontations really impress(ed) me too.
I do like Darklands title track, bits of Automatic (although The Pixies version of Head On beats the original hands down) and the cover of Leonard Cohen’s Tower of Song from the Rollercoaster EP but really it is slim pickings post Psychocandy.
🎵 From the back third-eye psyche, In the reflected mirror of delirium, Eastender and victorious lager, The induced call, mysterious, comes forth: Hit the North 🎵
I'm hot! He's out Rrrrrrr-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch You never knew I was around That's why you tried to climb on my back You step on my toes And pretend you never knew But you mess With this cat But let me warn you my friend Never do that again Cause I'm Kimble The Nimble! #FallFriday
Politic comic fools in full bloom McCarthy reincarnate soon See the bones on the two-late faces The me generation See the traces of The madness in my area
