How about a gig to make up for the cancelled Somerset House one, eh?

they wont sell out fast........

many who came to the big sold out gigs in march were emo kids and punks who quickly became bored, they were all sat around at the back looking bored,
i think these gigs will be less popular with the general rock public

or people who found that 3 hours of pure indulgence ruined the good reputation of a band who they had come to like due to their combination of melody, great songwriting, great performance AND great experimentation, which was sadly lacking from both the second album and the live shows. i've spoken to about 15 people i know who were at the brixton shows and all of them felt let down by the constant needless directionless wanking. rick wakeman's wives of henry viii sounds like status quo in comparison.
