So which song was the 'obligatory cover' at Whitby? I *still* don't think I've covered from the Manuskript version of 'Gangsta's Paradise'. :-)

| Protect and Survive single review on hard-wired.org.uk |
[20 Apr 2006|03:25pm] |
How I wish I was at Whitby this weekend ... but in case there are any Manuskript fans around that are also missing out, why not read my 10/10 review of Protect and Survive (single).
Here's an excerpt:
"When reviewing Duran Duran's debut album in 1981 for Smash Hits magazine, reviewer David Hepworth accused New Romantic bands of 'scanning maps of Germany for snappy song titles'. I'm reminded of this review by the inside sleeve of "Protect and Survive" which features a map of war-divided Berlin. Manuskript have already decided on titles for all the songs from their forthcoming album – to be known by the same name - but I offer this piece of advice in case they get stuck in the future. It has been four years since their last album proper, so there must be something holding them up."

Hiya folks,
Just to let you know, we've added a small movie to the downloads section of the website. It was cobbled together from a load of shenanigans filmed on my wee digital camera last week at the gigs oop North. It's shakey, poorly lit and of low resolution (but then again, so were the subjects!) I think it captures the atmos pretty well (unless it is viewed in a quiet, air-conditioned, smoke free room with working toilets, in which case you can count yourself lucky!)
Great daze!

review over
nahh, just kidding.
the gig was blinding despite a poor showing at insanitorium for the 2nd band night in a row (summer not the time for Goths apparently). From the moment they walked on stage (to the theme of battlestar galactica no less) to the end of the 2nd encore Mike, Tim et all worked the crowd like pros, total energy and that stupidly high charisma count that makes their live stuff so compelling. buggers even got ME on the dancefloor.
Every time i see them play i realise they are better than before, more together as a group and meshing in the indefinable way that marks a great band. Sickening isn't it. Far too much talent there.
I still can't get over how few people there were, i know its a bad time of year but a band like this should be a sellout.
Of course if there had been more people we would all have died of heatstroke.
...the end. (narf)

I will be out and about this weekend and will have on my person advance tickets to Attrition, Voices of Masada and Excession Friday, 23 July at The Verge, for only £6 (i.e. No booking fee). This isn't just a gig, it's a party with me and Martin Oldgoth playing music til 2 a.m. And it's the "extra Friday" so there's nothing else going on, you have no excuse! ;P

Did have some more of manuskript and the brides and stuff but they all got chewed up and all my passion play ones were blurry!!!
i think i need a better camera.
but anyway... makes the gallery easier to view ;p
thanks esp to minusbat for recovering some of the "great lost pictures" from the CF cards, esp the one of mike's scabby knee!

of all the bands at CX, manuskript put on the best show. and i prefered their music to most of the other bands. i'll be sure to check them out again if they ever come near, or i happen to be in england near where they coincidentally do a show.
that will be sometime after hell freezes over. my getting to go to england, that is.
they were a bunch of nice guys, too.
and, they rocked me, amadeus!
