An exciting find in NZ years ago, the first single by The Teardrop Explodes -“Sleeping Gas”/ “Camera Camera”/ “Kirkby Workers Dream Fades” - sounds even better played while reading pages 121-122 of Paul Simpson’s brilliant book “Revolutionary Sprit -a post-punk exorcism”. 1/2

This is a brilliant book. Not all beloved musicians can write. Paul Simpson can 🙏

Had forgotten this DATM origin story Danny interview from 2015 explaining the name: “Great! I thought, Lu being much like a maiden and myself at the time feeling much like death… call me ignorant, maybe I listen to too much techno!”

Beautiful, considered review of Uneven Ground on WhiteLight-WhiteHeat. Thanks Fabrizio and Jimmy.

Death And The Maiden live in Dunedin earlier tonight were magnificent… “Uneven Ground” sounds glorious live and loud. There’s another sold out show Sunday at Pearl Diver. If you have a ticket you are in for a treat.
