The Wildhearts

There are a couple things I noticed last time I listened to Anarchic Airwaves that I was wondering about: You need to be older and more living in England than me.

1. Ginger proudly declared before LYTID that they'd be headlining the next year. Did that come true?

2. When they played SOD and Ginger told the crowd to buy it and make them popstars, he said "put us in the realm of the blue ____ and pulp!" - Who is that first band he's mentioning? I can't figure it out, I am guessing because whoever it was faded into obscurity before I was a music fan.

That wasn't Reading, that was either Portsmouth or Plymouth, and yes I think they did headline the following year as part of the Full Roar 94 tour.

The Bluetones

The Bluetones

Who are still going, I had the pleasure of seeing them last year. I say pleasure loosely.

It was Plymouth Pavillions in (Aug?) 1993 (they were supporting the Almighty) - I was there. They also played 'Headfuck' before Suckerpunch - but that obviously didn't make the radio edit. They came back with the 'Full Roar Tour' in '94 but at the 'Britannia' - which was more of a large pub venue with a decent stage (now, sadly a Wetherspoons).

Good days.

Agreed, seen them on more than a few occasions.

Hmmn, not sure about that. I don't think they are familiar with the term 'variety'. They were fairly entertaining but the songs were pretty dull.
