a little at his site, the very nice looking
harperspace.
In the build up to the Sleeper Cell dates he added a few
comments, then wrote a small review of the tour. all can be
found in the harperspace archives, but I thought I might add
them here as well. We kick off with the intro:
9 AUG 2005
"Aha! almost forgot - next week sees the awakening of the band.
It's been far too long since I was in a gang and I'm very
excited about
the gigs.
I decided
to call the band 'Sleeper Cell' a few months ago because of the
songs I'd been writing about our disastrous invasion of various
countries in the Middle East where they keep the oil and was
trying to say that our actions would probably lead to reprisals.
When the mass murder happened in London I didn't have a shred of
doubt that I'd chosen the right name. My co-conspirators are my
old mates Moose of
Pants
fame who also played bass in New Model Army and The Damned and
Dan skin basher with the excellent band
Pants
who also played with Vibrators ... sorry The Vibrators and 999
and The Lurkers - get the picture?
We also
juggle and tell jokes and play old music hall songs from antique
albums of mine from the 20th century so it won't be non-stop
anger, but as they say in the trade, "We rock." Be there or be
square." |
