I’m consoling myself with this awesome 2012 live recording of ‘Seed’ that Shayne posted recently

It’s fucking great ain’t it – just played it again now, ‘one louder’, in all its improvisational glory for the benefit of the neighbours! I was reminded of the Shayne and Wayne of old, From…

BTW shortly thereafter, there’s this across town a bit at C1 – The Spinoff After Dark – the Spinoff crew and Steve Braunias …’with a selection of the best-looking guests from the festival’ – Russell, that must include you!

Not formally. But I have promised to heckle from the cheap…

The Fall photos in the Press are now linked in on the The Fall online.

What I note on that same page is that in answer to a fan's question earlier this year Where's the wife?, keyboardist/singer Elena Poulou has left the The Fall.

That Fall article is really good...how different the world could have been if Craig Scanlon had instead been that 'Happy Fall Guitarist'! He did last in the band a good I still remember him cranking out the opening notes for Impression of J temperance at the Ballroom. Magic.

Fatigue got very much the better of me last night and I missed Shayne Carter’s show at the Tuning Fork

If your schedule fits you may be able to catch SPC at Blue Smoke the night before your own 'gig' with Roger Shepherd and FN luminaries…

I’m not all that big on the song frankly but if people really want a groove marked out in highlighter for them they could do worse than this .

come on, "the trouble is you're so tall" is one of the great Kiwi short-arse lyrics.

PA readers of a certain age might enjoy this story by Charlie Gates in the Press about the time The Fall ("the mighty Fall") played Christchurch in 1982, and somehow found themselves on the front page of the paper. That photo of "happy Fall guitarist" Marc Riley was on the…

If there were prizes for outstanding drum work on a NZ record, Headband's "The laws must change "would surely be on the podium.No clip on youtube unfortunately, but in light of JK's comments about drug laws and policing earlier this week, it seems particularly apt.
