    To be honest so did I. The band's influence is definitely in there somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if the brewery dog story is to head off any possible threat of litigation.

    I once saw Pere Ubu at the Festival Hall. They performed a live soundtrack to the old 50's Sci-Fi film "It Came From Outer Space" which was simultaneously screened on a backdrop behind the band...in 3D. One of the more bizarre gigs I have been to. Oh, and support came from the Electric Prunes.

    To be honest, I'd have been more surprised if you hadn't seen them.

    P.S. Only once?

    Yes. Beer and 3D glasses don't mix.

    A relatively quiet drinking-week for HTM69, with only the 12 pints consumed over the weekend and Mon-Fri being totally alcohol-free.

    St Austell’s Tribute x 1
