Apparently they (when I say "they" I mean the three that are left after the other two hundred members left after various acrimony) have a new album out.

 

I went to see Robert Palmer at St. Andrews Park in Birmingham some time in the late eighties. He was supporting the cod-reggae superstars. Chrissie Hynde also performed.

It was nice to leave early and miss the traffic.

 

I'm not a fan but different strokes etc. I did admire their early political stance.

I was partially into them at one point.. Had a few albums...u think I still he that yellow with with the ub40 form on the cover... Googled it... Is called signing off

 

They are tired when they came to SA in the late 80s..

 

 

Speaking of... Take a look at summer festivals etc... It's full of old bands reforming and playing... Why? Is it because the younger generation don't want to go watch live music.. Or because these guys are not getting record sale revenue due to streaming and downloading and therefore are forced to play live?

 

Food for thought

Talking of old bands (although not technically a reformation but a rebuild) The The are touring in June and I have just had confirmation of a set of tickets for Bristol in September.

Matt Johnson was speaking on BBC6 Music this morning and mentioned he'd been in the business for forty years. It made me feel sooooo ooooold.

 

Definitely revenue streams drying up, downloads/streams are not the income generators hard copies once were. Although vinyl is tapping gently away in the distance once again.
