Saw them for the first time at the Hackney Empire on Halloween. Amazing.
Support acts were:
Bobbie Peru who were very good, I think they just need a singer though.
John Cooper Clarke who was amusing. Interestingly, he lives only a few miles away from me.
Safi who was rubbish. I think it was interesting to begin with, had a manipulated Sinead O'Connor video with some extra electronic bits, but then it just got horribly mind numbing.
And needless to say, The Fall was fantastic.
Also, I was sitting beside these dancing girls. You'd think they were Girls Aloud fans rather than Fall fans. I take it their boyfriends dragged them along and they just wanted to have fun. One of them kept spilling beer on me :|
Also, had some awesome dance music at the start. Wish I knew what it was
Anyway, yeah. The Fall are the best post-punk band, if you ask me. I only have about six of their albums, though :/
