The Fall Plays the Rialto?
A post on Fallnet today:
Someone will argue about the characterization of the Fall as "Manchester's Mightiest." An argument can be made for the Buzzcocks. Natalie Luna would say that it is the Smiths. My brother Tom would say Freddie and the Dreamers. Prairie Clayton would say Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, even though she probably hates him.
Elizabeth Rogers would then chime in and say she hadn't heard of any of them.
We who are fans are a bit apprehensive. The Fall's west coast tours are notorious for getting cancelled. They had two previous appearances scheduled in Tucson. One at Hotel Congress in 2002 was cancelled a few weeks prior when the band couldn't secure visas (no one could secure a visa in 2002). An appearance in 2004 at Plush was cancelled the morning of the show. Their previous show was two days before in Houston, and Mark E. Smith had hooked up with some buddies and gone on some sort of bender. That tour was a bit of a disaster, with Smith doing most shows either from crutches or sitting because of some injuries.
The last show I saw at the Rialto was the Hotel Congress Anniversary, I think that night I saw the River Roses and Green on Red.
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

Ted,
Twice in like 5 days, you mention me! Sniff, it warms my heart! And yes, I would argue for The Smiths. Though have you seen Morrissey lately? Chunky! But I still love him and his pompador.

I not only have heard of almost all of them, I was able to use your extensive knowledge of the Fall to tick off a friend of mine.
Ted-the gift that keeps on giving. *snicker*

The Violent Femmes were from Milwaukee...we were discussing Manchester.
S'ok though...I'll talk about the Violent Femmes and Die Kruezen someday, and I'll even let Milwaukee take credit for Steve Miller and Liberace.
