Mark E Smith Reviews

The Fall - Manchester Academy 1, 18th July 2009

by Burning World on Mon, 2009/07/27 - 6:42pm

I’m getting more and more excited about the new Fall album by thye day. The new songs seem to sound better with every gig. Songs like "Cowboy George, Bury & Funnel Of Love have already become live favorites and this gig gave a storming debut to "Sloppy Floor" which is simply magnificent. This will be the last Fall gig until October by which time the new album will hopefully be just about here.

On a side note does anybody have a recording of Mark E Smith’s recent Q&A session in Huddersfield. I’ve heard it was hilarious and I will perform painfull experiments with rusty razor blades until a copy is in my possession.
