Billy Idol was wearing a Billy Idol t-shirt. He took it off, throw it into the crowd, left the stage and emerged in a full length shiny leather jacket and did White Wedding. If that's not the perfect warm up for Kraftwerk I don't know what is

Seeing so many bands cancel dates because of poor advance ticket sales. It's not because they're shite, people WILL come, but won't buy a ticket until the last min. It's tough to get grouchy about, everybody is skint, but no wonder your wee bands can't survive. How can they budget on hope alone?
