Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I forgot to say something. La Cigogne is a small bar in the center of Brussels (rue Antoine Dansaert, 78). They've got a jukebox in this place. Old one. I had a look at the records : several Stranglers (incuding Bear Cage !), 2 Polyphonic Size, and.... Freddie Laker / Ozymandias by JJ !!!! :shock: :...

So far, there's no other gig planned, but who knows ? My opinion is that they sound so great there will be more. I forgot to say that this event is part of the "Jeunes Gens Modernes" exhibition (New Wave and Post Punk culture in France -and Belgium-, 1978-1983, an Agnes B production). It w...

Polyphonic Size gave a private gig in some tiny Brussels bar (La Cigogne) yesterday evening. This was a kind of warm up concert before the big one, Wednesday 05 April. The band now features Roger-Marc Vandevoorde (vocals, keyboards, guitar), France Lhermitte (vocals) and Kloot Per W (bass and vocals...

OK guys, here are 3 Taxi Girl shows. Incomplete, yes, but pretty rare. The first set (Live 'Quelque Part...') is supposed to be 1980, but it could be 1981 as well. The best show is probably Cannes 1982, though the sound is a little bit rough on that one. They played really fast that day, so fast I t...

Just paid my 5£ today. A great Stranglers forum for the price of a couple of beers. Cheers !

Hi Jim,

A little correction to the year 1979 :

12.11.79 was Paris Empire (famous Chorus TV show),
but
13.11.79 was Paris Le Palace (see ticket below).

Cheers !

Many thanks. I have downloaded it last night, will listen to the whole show during the weekend. Actually, I already had it, but with 18 songs only. Cheers !

Thanks. I met Daniel Darc (ex - Taxi Girl singer) once, and he told me he much prefered these demos to the final album production

There's a Taxi Girl red flexi single supposed to be recorded during that tour. It was given for free with a french music magazine, but it's actually one of these demos (Viviane Vog).

TAXI GIRL : 1st album, Seppuku. Excellent unreleased demos, produced by JJ, featuring Jet Black on drums. 1981.

You see ? Just as I said, "The Belgian Kraftwerk", not the French Kraftwerk !

Great Polyphonic Size fan you've got there, for sure, but don't be too modest, you obviously did a great job rewriting and correcting all the mispelt stuff from the original text. :mrgreen: :shock: What do you mean by jury-is-out-with-Brussels-Waltz ??! Sounds like a godam great title to me ! Sh****...
