smalltown heroes tour

Post by manticore »

theres no mention of the smalltown heroes on the king tuts site(the glasgow show)so i phoned them and it turns out they are the support for a led zepplin tribute band. a bit dissapointing as i'd far rather see them headline a show on their own,but i suppose it means you can get home early.and its only £5.

Yeah its a bit dissapointing that they are supporting. And to a tribute act as well. I'm sure that they could have found somewhere in Glasgow that they could have played as a headline.
However, I'm gonna go along anyway. It'll be funny to go to a gig just for the support though.
I'm sure that they'll be a good amount of people going along to support Baz.

after the postage and that handling charge cobblers,its turned out to be £9.20. still fairly cheap.

would be rather amusing if it was mostly stranglers fans and when the s.t. heroes were finished we all buggered off home leaving the headliners with a couple of their own fans left. :mrgreen:

Sure that happened to Magazine, in Glasgow, after Joy Division had finished their set.

Yeah, I liked em when i saw em supporting the MIB's in 90's! Bought their Human Soup album on the strenght of their performance!! So yeah, not because Baz is now a Strangler, but for the Smalltown Heroes music and live show as a band!! :smt035
