@Tomcat – Nice little interview. Thanks for posting. A new album already on the way, another tour, maybe two – I've never felt so spoiled by a band.
Hmmm. I hope for some new material too. However, I think Tomas has been busy with other projects/gigs and may not have been available to rehearse new material for the stage. Still keeping fingers crossed.
@supernaut – those videos and recordings from 79 are great, though I've not seen them for a while. James and the Cold Gun was my favourite too from those recordings. Like many teenaged boys, and most likely quite a few girls too, I was a little in love/lust with Ms Bush back then. <3
@mybestfriend – I bet we've all got some good stories to tell. It's a function of being fans of rock music.
On the tangential discussion on Kate Bush … I saw her live at Hammersmith Odeon in 1979. The performance was an additional date that came about after one of her crew, Bill Duffield, had fallen and died while cleaning up equipment at one of the venues. The concert raised money for his family. Kate was joined on stage at different points through the evening by Peter Gabriel and Steve Harley, both of whom had worked with Duffield. Gabriel also sang "Here Comes the Flood" and Harley sang "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)". They all finished the concert with "Let It Be".
When Kate played her more recent residency at Hammersmith I tried to get tickets but couldn't manage. Then one afternoon, a friend from the Netherlands was in town and he called, saying he had a spare ticket, would I like to go? I said "I'd love to. How much is it?" "£200 he replied". "In that case, no, thanks," I responded. I would love to have gone, but £200!! No way, José.
@Tomcat – Who will make it available? Burg Herzberg? WDR TV? Maybe you could post a link when its available. Please
I'm just listening to WERL's first album "s/t" (which I assume stands for "self-titled"). I'm ambivalent about drone music – as a some-time meditator with an interest in Indian culture and a love of some of the drone sounds found in that culture's (especially Hindu devotional) music, I feel like I ought always to get "the feels", but some of it just doesn't hit the right chord. For example, I listened to some Sunswitch and couldn't get into it. But this album is fantastic! It's not an album I'd listen to much, but I'm really getting off on it right now
@Tomcat – I'm so in love with the five videos currently availabe on YouTube (listed in a post above), that a better quality copy of any of those would be very welcome indeed.
I never got into the 70s Battlestar Galactica, but the 00s reboot was, in my opinion, one of the best TV series ever made.
@ffbernie – Thanks for the videos. I'm a new fan, slowly making my way through your videos. What a treasure!
So it's now three weeks till the Norwegian shows. You all know the band better than I do, so who thinks there's a chance of some new material being played? Or will they hold off until either the November dates or the Byscenen gig or the new year? Or am I being foolish to speculate?
