LONG LIVE THE SONICCIRCUS

Would have been Jan 93 if i remeber the year correct lol when The Wildhearts stepped in last minute to support Alice in Chains at Nottingham Rock City.

Been a fan sinse then.

Supporting the Almighty, at a gig in Middlesbrough far too long a go to remember correctly.
And Ginger and Spike spotting at the Mayfair in Newcastle.

Still get the same buzz when I hear the opening chords to "Nothing Ever Changes", still one of Gingers best tracks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea certain. I'm from Boro and WH have only played here 3 times. 94, 96 and 02.
They were gonna play in 97 but thats when the whole tour got cancelled.

Ahh well I bow down to your superior knowledge of all things smoggie

The above mentioned gig is one that I did't go to btw but I wish I was there. Two top bands at the height of their powers.
Plus your right The Mayfair should still be there, a legendary venue.

Mmm, we have The Arena (Rock Garden) and The Empire. Alas I don't really bother being an old git. A few good pubs does me and my mates. Always love going to Toon tho as it's a Rock n Roll City. far too many chavs here (Boro) for my liking.

like all the *newer* fans , i heard vannila radio first

I first heard Coupled With, when my ex stuck it on in the office when it was first released. Absolutely fell in love with it, so he lent me p.h.u.q. next, and that was it. Been obsessed ever since.

"Caffeine Bomb" on Top of the Pops, introduced by a presenter saying "you know those bits on this show where your parents say 'What the hell is that?'... well, these are The Wildhearts and they're great!"

And they were.
