McAlmont and Butler plus Space @ The Marquee...
I went to the new Marquee for the first time on Friday, a good size and shape of venue, little bit odd though, and the bar isn't good - no pints, only 3.50 bottles, how's a guy supposed to get really squiffy on just one pocketful of cash?
The gig was a competition winners thing for some Northern radio station, the original prize was to see Paul Weller at the legendary Marquee, I'd imagine most of them weren't jumping for joy when it turned out to be a couple of indie acts in a shopping centre.
Still, we enjoyed it, even Space, though I was surprised to see the fat bloke who dressed as Ali G in The Office has replaced Jamie the other vocalist. They did all the hits, and sounded good.
McAlmont and Butler were headliners, and were also ace, first time I've seen the live, and especially enjoyed Bernard rocking out and swinging his barnet. Bonus for me, as a 60ft Dolls fan of yore, Richard Parfitt also features in "McAlmont And Butler, the full band".
And they played Back For Good, and it was smashing.

We're off to see The Tears tomorrow night, if the tickets ever show up... got a call from SMS who are delivering them today to say they're going to try again tomorrow... USELESS BASTARDS! Anyway, Nic went yesterday to the warm up in Oxford and says:
i thought they were ace - best bits of old suede + mcalmont & butler, great harmonising by butler and anderson on lots of songs and a lot of the songs are catchy poppy things which you will be humming all day!
Pictures from the gig and a setlist on The Tears forum... Setlist says: "Brave New Century", "Refugees", "Imperfection", "2 Creatures", "Autograph", "Co-star", "Fallen Idol", "Feels Like Monday", "Beautiful Pain", "Apollo 13", "Lovers", and an encore of "A Love As Strong As Death"... no Suede, and short shrift for the audience member shouting out for "Animal Nitrate"...
