I would also say that Captain Sensible's Christmas song is my favorite ever.

This is what I heard
the damned do make me sad again that Rik M died earlier this year
I saw The Damned at BC on the last go around. Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible were the only original members. Monty Oxy Moron has been on keys for them for almost 20 years though. They were really awesome live though, great show. How is TSOL doing these days would be my question!?!

Saw them open for FLAG last year and they were solid.

The Damned are still one of my favorite bands to see live. They're always great. I saw them in Chicago in 1998 and it was one of the wildest, most disorganized spectacles I've ever seen but in all the right ways. Girls ripping off their tops and stage diving, an amp falling over onto the drummer, Captain Sensible in a tutu with no underwear, drunken audience fist fights, a guy jumping on stage and proposing to his girlfriend…it was better than any circus I've ever been to. The following week I saw them in Boston and Captain Sensible leaned over and kissed my sister. Dave Vanian asked what he was doing and he said "OH, I was just helping her find her earring" and Dave Vanian dedicated "Shadow of Love" to "all the girls that have lost their earrings tonight". I used to miss Rat Scabies but their current drummer is great, and to be honest Dave and the Captain are pretty much the core of the Damned anyway. They never disappoint.
On another note, one of my favorite rock star stories is that Brian James killed some guy who wrote all the original songs for the first album, then stole them and claimed them as his own. So when it came time to write the second LP he used his own songs, which is why it's not as good and that's why they had to break up.

I've said it once and I'll say it again… Rock shows should not be held in places where you're expected to be seated.

Well you can sit until the band starts and then you should stand up. It does gurantee you a spot so you can go to the bathroom or get a beer when you want.

I guess I just run in different circles….
Obviously, that's the funny part. I'm never in loop on this stuff. I don't even click Just Announced any more, except for the month or two ahead of when I may be visiting DC.
But this weekend, I was chatting up my bartender friend about the New Order show and she told me Slowdive and Low were coming. I was happy and figured everyone knew. Then I was chatting with Venerable about it and bought a presale ticket. At 10am PT it said Low was the opener on the ticketing web site. Then four hours later they posted an announcement that Low was the opener and everyone went nuts.
I'm rarely in the know so I was taking the piss…

Definitely more than 200… I would still think he'd be at least playing the Black Cat.
