Got tickets for Cambridge this morning from the Corn Exchange Box office. They've now sold all of their allocation, but there may be a few available throught the agencies.

And you never saw them after that? I saw them in 93 and was hooked - mind you they were kinda punky back then. I remember stood in the Nynex in 96 and me and me mate were stood scratching our heads because this "punk band" suddenly had all these teenage girl fans with tiarras and tellytubbys. Mind you that said I shacked up with one so alls well that ends well *belch*

Well, I wasn't hooked way back when. I bought 'Generation Terrorists' and saw them at Trent Poly, Nottm after reading all about The Manics in the NME.

On the whole, they didn't do much for me in their early days. By the time my interest was re-kindled they were playing stadiums/arenas etc which I tend to avoid.

Quite looking forward to the Rock City gig though as this will be an intimate affair compared to their usual haunts these days.

Been listening to "Know your enemy" a lot recently "found that soul" "miss europa disco dancer" & "my gurnica" are very catchy.
