Would have been a good line up if it was still 1981. Today it's just a reminder of how completely farked the live scene is for up and coming bands in this town.

Plague should go and have a chat to these guys and tell them how much better things are now than they were back in 1981 - Hopefully he doesn't get Jeremy Oxley on a bad day.
yep, and they've just announced The Drop festival to coincide with Surfest, and Up Down festival is coming in March (from the same people that put on This/That).

There are plenty of chances to see 'new' live music in Newcastle.
But i'd imagine theres still a few people out there searching for the Jolly Roger and Bel Air hotels on their GPS because 'thats how we did it in the old days'.


Ive no idea if "things are much better now".

but i aint the one living in the past either.
