STEWART COPELAND

Ok, Adam Ant is swinging through the tri-state area to play at the Madison Theatre in Covington KY (right across Ohio River from Cincinnati) on 24 August. I have my old Adam-as-The-Dandy-Highwayman t-shirt washed and ready to wear!
This is the same venue I got to see The Psychadelic Furs in the winter before beginning of Tourzilla, great place where you can get right up near the stage and see it all.
Now, if i can find just the right pair of black & white striped leggings, geometric earrings, and some combat boots......

great, I like him a lot...!

That's on a Saturday, so it's a possibility. Thanks for the heads up.

" Staaannnd, and deliverrrr......!"
I wonder if I can still carry off the New Wave stripe face paint....?
Hope to see you & the Mrs there, drummike.

"qua qua da diddly qua qua"
"ha ha hilla hey hallala hollalla ho, ha ha hilla hey hallala hollala day-o"
I'll see him in nearby Bochum in February 2014
the new CD is really bad, but I'll enjoy the concert anyway
another hole in my life fixed

Haven't listened to Out of Bounds in a looong time. Gotta dig that one out

well, to see him live now it's definitely something different from the past, but who cares, it's all about the music!

Hey, I wasn't disappointed by either Psychadelic Furs shows I caught here in past 5 years, and to some degree, if Adam still makes danceable music that will be fine. I will go with best hopes for a good show, face paint or no!

Looking forward to seeing him in DC in a few weeks. The show I saw last fall in Virginia was fantastic (hah, see avatar I'm still using).

I agree with Dietmar on the new cd, however. I really like maybe 3 songs on it, but the rest...? Er, not so much at all, which was a bit disappointing.

I am also going to gig at the 930 club! Woooooooooo!!!!™

Yep, I have our tickets in hand - need to coordinate soon!

There are acts which seem to always be best live. The Ant CD "wonderful" from 10+ yrs ago was like that too, but still enjoyed hearing him send it on TV back then.
Not every band/singer/act can be as Blessed as Our Boys, The Police, to be so thoroughly great, either on record or on stage!
It should be good evening, nonetheless.

There's a good chance I'll have to miss the Adam Ant show; my own band is playing a park gig in Burlington KY on the 24th. If it wraps up soon enough I might be able to make it, but who knows? If I decide to take my old Tama Superstars out instead of the band's Ludwigs then I'll have to run home afterwards, etc, etc.

Hey which park? If I am sufficiently recuperated, I may be able to run over & catch a part of y'all's show-no promise, am atill 'whipped' enough right now to debate even to seeing AdamHimself-must be really getting old!

Suzanne, we are playing Boone Woods behind the YMCA off KY 18 in Burlington, 7 to 8:30. The name of my rocking band is Florence Community Band...yep, we're a bunch of trumpets, horns, saxes, etc, just like high school. On the program for Saturday: The Beatles Remembered, The Jersey Boys Medley, and Lady Gaga Dance Mix, lol.
