The Hope & Anchor, London, UK
30th April 2015
Naked Lunch

Back in 1979, NAKED LUNCH, and especially front-man Tony Mayo, were hugely influential in the fledgling electronic music scene in the UK. Crucial to the encouragement and development of bands like DEPECHE MODE, they helped shape the androgynous, experimental and progressive music at the time, alongside FAD GADGET, BLANCMANGE, SOFT CELL and THE THE amongst many others.

Haus Auensee, Leipzig, Germany
9th May 2015
And One & Beyond Obsession

Last time I saw AND ONE I left the show earlier because Steve was talking too much about too many political things. This time I wanted to stay and see what happens. A friend convinced me to go there and check out what is now going on with the “Trilogie Supershow 1” tour, the new but old band members, and BEYOND OBSESSION as a support act. And so I made my way to Leipzig’s Haus Auensee, caught a place in the second row and was pushed and insulted by a guy looking like an aggressive security guy mixed with an old punk-rock west, smelling like a bum – and being drunk. First thought this day: I want to go home, I don’t need to have things like this. But I stayed…
