us: "you all forgot herman hesse"
us: "that's a verbatim version of a 2006 performance when a giraffe pissed in bernard's autocue."
[the same giraffe that trod on alex's foot]
us: "NO! you'll get blue monday and you'll fookin' like it!"
highlight: alex insisting hooky was listening on the phone in milan....
notes: finally we got to play the roscoe. and a sweaty old fine time was had by all. originally booked in 2006 for a spring 2007 date then put back, cancelled, re:booked and delayed again... ending up on the warmest day of the year, over 12 months late for the joy division anniversary it was meant to tie in with.
at the promoter's request, the gig was advertised as 'joy re:vision in support' but the audience weren't fooled by the change of shirts. fortunately, doing two distinct sets worked in this instance. not sure if there will be another run-out for joy de:rision despite the audience who caught it being bowled over. perhaps they should re:tire. perhaps that's enough cricket puns.
