In Dec 1994 I saw Primal Scream at Shepherd's Bush Empire... who were supported by a live incarnation of Sabres of Paradise (as well as a DJ set from the Chemical Brothers while they were still called the Dust Brothers, and an unannounced acoustic set from Noel Gallagher, and an encore appearance from Paul Weller, it was like the 1994est indie gig ever).

Anyway because the internet is amazing I have found a recording of essentially the same set from Manchester the same month - here

And for some reason - maybe something I read at the time? - I have always vaguely wondered if Weatherall was actually involved in this live show somehow or if it was more driven by Kooner & Burns. Despite knowing him by reputation I wouldn't have known what AW looked like at the time.

Anyway probably I will never know, but thought I would hang this memory out on the internet and maybe someone will one day reply.

the Curses comps, Next Wave Acid Punks Deux (now up to part 3) feel like a kind of continuation of the 9 o’Clock Drop comp. in any case something I imagine he would have very much liked.

Huh there's an artist on NWAP 1 with the same handle as an ilx poster?

that’s funny, I liked the Chinaski album from a few years back and did wonder if it was the ilx poster lol

ha I used to know a guy about 20 years ago who had a band called Chinaski. pretty sure he doesn't post on ilx either (or DJ in Germany)

these Next Wave Acid Punks comps look right up my street though, going to check these out

Not me. Confession: I have a vague unease about being associated with Bukowski. Not that I've been arsed to do anything about it.

I would prefer not to. (Chinaski), Friday, 2 February 2024 22:20 (three months ago) link
