Can I ask/ nominate/ plea for Eureka Machines pretty pretty please....

p.s. I don't want to seem like an idiot asking for a particular support act as it's of course down to the band etc but I have a real soft spot for them :) and think they really complimented Ginger on his acoustic tour...

p.p.s Anyone in agreement say 'aye'.

Surely if we're celebrating the past, it should reflect the support bands of the time? So...
7 March - 1 April 1994 The Wildhearts' Full Roar '94 tour plays to 23 venues around the UK. Willie Dowling (who played on Earth Vs The Wildhearts) is added to the touring line-up as a keyboard player. Support comes from Scottish labelmates Baby Chaos. Splitpigs also join the party at the Forum in London's Kentish Town on 27 March, where Ginger wears a white tuxedo and asks the crowd to join him in an impromptu rendition of Happy Birthday. It's his mother's birthday, and she watches the gig from the balcony. A typical set list from the tour runs: Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes, Greetings From Shitsville, Everlone, Liberty Cap, Shame On Me, Suckerpunch, News Of The World, Caffeine Bomb, My Baby Is A Headfuck, Love U Til I Don't. Some fans complain that the hour-long sets are too short.

Oh, and Willie on keyboards for one last time? Yes please. :D

Either get Groop Dogdrill out of retirement or get those Swedes over for a bit of Supershit 666 live.

Maybe - given the special occasion, The Wildhearts could play 2 sets? Support themselves? Do, as someone suggested on another thread, the Earth VS set and a Greatest Hits set.

How cool would that be!

You could probably see this coming from a mile off, but I vote for Eureka Machines too.

And U2.

I think they're probably going to have a long set as it is... just how many tracks are we talking about here, including b-sides?

Them Swedes have their own tour booked in September, and sadly I doubt we'll see Groop Dogdrill again. I hear Cecil have re-formed for a one-off gig in Liverpool but then they always seemed a bit of a marmite band. I love 'em, some folk hate 'em.
Really we need someone we're all going to enjoy, that's why I reckon Eureka Machines fit the bill. 9 out of 10 cats agreed.

So yeah, I second the vote for Eureka Machines, but I'm going to have to veto Damian's second choice of U2. :P

I was merely suggesting that they ask both, and go with the one that says yes.
