I will go see WASP when they come here. They also have a new album coming out in early October that I'm looking forward too.

Dominator was actually a decent CD. Blackie needs to get a writing partner or someone to tell him he's rehashing a lot of the same melodies. I love WASP though. KFD was a great obnoxious bundle of quasi industrial metal.

Although Stace, to be fair, most of these guys had pretty stellar careers until Grunge wiped them all out. I would have probably got pretty disillusioned going from playing arenas to 500 seaters and packed it in for a while. Ha ha..just as I am writing this a Telus commercial (mobile phone company) came on with Europes the Final Countdown as the background music. How fitting!

That's a very London-centric list of dates. Bloody southerners.

To be fair, some of the above -- The Wildhearts, Europe, etc. -- never went away, their
distribution budget did.

Speaking of Wildies. They're currently giving away a new free download 'The Snake, The Lion, The Monkey and The Spider'. Very Spaceage Playboys with some, eh, Jungle Book thrown in for good measure (you'll see). The mp3 is at their dotcom -- which is currently not working -- but is also listenable at their myspace: www.myspace.com/thewildhearts

Hehe, I only got the listing from a London ticket agent site that I check, they're probably doing all the usual dives around the country too.
