Teagan and Sarah opened for them. Kinda early to mid-80s alternative sounding band with two female singers. I asked where they were from when I purchased their cd and the reply was Canada. Not a city just an unnamed shack within 5 miles of the US border.

The scoop.

The Col Ballroom, Davenport, Iowa. Camera friendly. General admission. Sold out. Brandon said that there were 1300 of us there. First band in 2 years. The guy selling booze says they either get bands on the way up or on the way down.

Unfortunately on one concession for booze so on my second trip I bought 3 cans of Miller Lite to get me through the show.

True to the security dude's word they played for about an hour including a "new" song and 3 others not on the lp although one was on the UK release. Their performance was pretty damn good, 10K times better than their SNL abortion. No F ups.

Still depressed that I missed New Order last week because the Buick and the Jag took a $800 shit on me. I was going to skip this one too but Wifey wanted to go.

Hell no, I'd never call The Police. I had to get an unlisted number because Sting would get drunk and call me at 3 am every so often. Then he started coming over and yelling at us in a drunken stupor. We eventually got a restraining order on him. He is not to make any contact with us. Everything was fine until he sent nude photos of himself to my daughter. Trial is set for this summer.
