Apologies for the poor quality of photos this time round but we were sitting in the circle for this gig rather than in the pit!
LIARS
Liars were the first of the evening festivities and had an interesting sound. Choppy dance punk rhythms with a very art rock style. They were OK, got a lukewarm audience reaction and Sam certainly wasn't a fan!
THE RESIDENTS
Stage was nicely laid out like a living room complete with very nice imitation fire!
We were told 'spooky tales' against a sonic soundscape of keyboard and guitar noise. Sam's view "They're a bit odd aren't they?". Well yes they are but highly entertaining too!
Andy 'Fletch' Fletcher got a great reaction with his DJ set through the next break.
ERASURE
Erasure were fucking fabulous. Pomp, circumstance, camp and splendour. We were treated to three Yazoo songs with Vince and Alison Moyet. Andy Bell then took the stage and we had some Pop!tastic hits. The night ended with Feargal Sharkey guesting and singing Never Never (from Vince's The Assembly days)!
Fantastic stuff but an hour wasn't long enough!
Alison and Vince reunited:

Erasure & Feargal Sharkey
Fletch filled the gap again with a less inspiring DJ set than last time although he did redeem himself with a Depeche Mode dance mix at the end.
LAIBACH
First song was very atmospheric and I was really looking forward to their set. Sadly we had to make an early exit as things were running very late which was a damn shame.
A very entertaining night and Erasure & Friends definitely stole the show!
