LUSH’S FINAL SHOW @ MANCHESTER ACADEMY larecord.com /photos/2016/11/26/lushs-final-show-manchester-academy November 26th, 2016 | Photos Photos by Todd Nakamine 2016 brought a very successful return for Lush with sold out shows, festival appearances and a new EP Blind Spot. But 2016 also brought the final show the band would play at the Manchester Academy to a somewhat somber crowd. We were soaking in every last note all knowing this was the last show ever (sometimes knowing is worse). Kicking off their high energy set with “De-luxe” and plowing through classic after classic covering their entire career including “Kiss Chase,” “Thoughtforms,” “Etheriel,” “Light From A Dead Star,” “Hypocrite,” “Undertow” plus the new already classic Lush track “Out of Control.” While nothing can replace the late Chris Acland’s subtleties that helped define Lush’s sound, drummer Justin Welsh’s hard and fast style of playing added an extra kick apparent in songs like “Ladykiller,” or as Miki Berenyi said should be renamed “Pussygrabber” in light of U.S.A.’s new president elect, as well as “Sweetness and Light.” Acland’s close friend Michael Conroy of Modern English filled in on bass as Phil King left the band in October. Finishing with the final song of the night “Monochrome,” Emma Anderson, Berenyi and Welsh gave their last waves, left the stage for the final time and the crowd quietly shuffled out having been treated with a very special goodbye. Kicking off the night was Brix & The Extricated featuring post punk legends Brix Smith, Steve Hanley and Paul Hanley (The Fall). They blasted their way through a mix of originals as well as The Fall classics such as “2×4,” “Bombast” and “Totally Wired” with a few Trump jabs thrown in for good measure. 1/2 2/2.

The Big Midweek: Life Inside the Fall PDF Book
THE BIG MIDWEEK: LIFE INSIDE THE FALL PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Steve Hanley,Olivia Piekarski | 448 pages | 15 Jul 2016 | Route Publishing | 9781901927658 | English | Glasshoughton, Yorks, United Kingdom The Big Midweek: Life Inside the Fall PDF Book I love The Fall and MES is clearly a genius imho however it takes a brilliant book by the unsung Steve Hanley to really drive home the contribution of the many other band members over, as MES would say himself, "the long, long days of our youth. Absolutely crushing. A wonderful reminder of what it once meant to be in a genuinely dangerous and groundbreaking group. Utterly essential for The Fall fan in your life. Humorous and engaging. Mar 06, Jay Green rated it liked it. Hanley suffers; all The Fall suffers. One of the best books on music I've read in a long time. Other editions. Also a shout out to Colin, their Scottish roadie, whose proclamations Hanley writes phonetically, very funny. Following along and listening to their discography chronologically while reading was a revelation - would have appreciated an epilogue, though! Mainly this was because of the personality of Mark Edward Smith, one of the more obtuse characters to emerge from the nexus of northern punk. There are priceless Smith quotes that sound verbatim to anyone familiar with his turn of phrase. No trivia or quizzes yet. Nice to see Marc Riley come out of it well. The Fall always give you something other than what you expect: this superb book is just another example of this from the sufficiently, occasionally sober bassist who lived to tell the tale.

How to Run a Grassroots Music Venue
INTRODUCTION Music Venue Trust is a UK charity created in 2014 to protect, secure and improve the nation’s Grassroots Music Venues (GMVs). We work with and for the small independent venues which nurture new talent and connect audiences with live music experiences, building communities around music in towns and cities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. How this book works This book is one of a pair – How to Open a Grassroots Music Venue and How to Run a Grassroots Music Venue. The chapters contain some common information but are written for the reader depending on whether they are embarking on creating a GMV or reviewing the venue they already run. The guides are intended to be practical and straightforward, while linking to supporting materials both in the Guidance section at the back of the book and to online Resources on the Music Venue Trust website. Throughout the book a key tells you when information is Vital , when to cross reference with the Guidance and when to refer to online Resources : www.musicvenuetrust.com We urge you to read through the good practice Guidance which has been created by experts. Even if you are not able to do everything, it tells you what you should be aiming for. As the book states several times, running a successful venue is underpinned by doing what you need to do, setting the scene for you to develop the venue you want to create. 1 For inspiration, the practical guide is interspersed with interviews with some of the people who own and run existing GMVs.

The Fall, "The Frenz Experiment"
Brainwashed - The Fall, "The Frenz Experiment" Written by Eve McGivern Sunday, 18 October 2020 00:00 - Last Updated Sunday, 18 October 2020 11:12 There are three main periods The Fall may be grouped into: the raw punk early years, the more “melodious” classic years, and the post-'90s period up to Mark E. Smith’s passing in 2018. The Frenz Experiment , originally released in 1988 and reissued this year by Beggars Banquet, is part of the “classic” years, a time when the band churned out a series of nearly perfect albums. Beggars Banquet I came upon The Fall in 1987 by way of the compilation of early singles Palace of Swords Reversed . I remember not being entirely sure what to make of them, but loved “Totally Wired.” In those days, I got most of my music from college radio and MTV’s 120 Minutes , so unless either were spinning The Fall, I had so much other music vying for my attention. When lo and behold, the band had themselves a bonafide radio hit with “Hit the North (Part 1),” a funky, groovy little number that, what’s this? — was danceable? The wonderful and frightening world of The Fall was suddenly opened to myself and so many others. Additionally, along came a lovely rendition of The Kinks’ “Victoria” that saw airplay on MTV, and the band started to have greater access to the American psyche. It was the album in which I fell in love with The Fall, and became a lifelong listener (as well as a glutton for punishment in attempting to obtain their entire catalog).
