Just back from the Abercrombie on Bootle St myself. Full of briefs and villains :) If you're local to Tib St, permit me a plug - the guy who did our artwork is Jamie Barnes - also the proprietor of Applique Apparel, just up the street from Centro. For screen printing, garments, graphics etc they are the tops! Good stuff – Friday afternoon boozing on a warm(ish) spring day. Just back from the Abercrombie on Bootle St myself.

You had great flyer artwork, I know that. Just been in Centro coincidentally. It's very busy for this time of day. Ah, too many This and Thats to deal with on a Friday!

There’s no such thing, unless you’re an avid Black Lace fan.

Cheers – if you’re thinking of This Thing of Ours that is. Sounds like we’ve met – did you ever go?

Most of the bands I put on aren't even on record labels and, likewise, egos simply don't come into the equation. Great night you used to have by the way, if I've got the right person... started up again, didn't it?

Great night you used to have by the way, if I’ve got the right person… started up again, didn’t it?

Sticking with live bands means sticking with the tyranny of the front-facing, artist-audience dichotomy. That's great for record companies who want to market "product" to "fans", and for the egos of those on stage. Not so great for the rest of us. What's more, a kickdrum and a synth have more sheer visceral passion than any collection of shaggy muso knobheads could ever muster. That said, £40 is a total ripoff. Get thee to a free party young man. If you think that the point of a rave is to watch the deejay then you’ve missed it entirely.

The Warehouse thing is good, better (in terms of sound/production) than the Boddingtons Brewery, but I agree it would be nice to see the place... Got any bolt cutters??
