On The Road / Re: The Leadmill Sheffield closes

The building owners are saying they're going to reopen it as a music venue after refurb but forcing the Leadmill team out has caused serious ill-will in Sheff, and I expect there'll be organised boycotts if/when it opens its doors again and it can't be called the Leadmill.

Yes, it was a damn good venue, very much in the same vein as Rock City - I recall seeing the Damned there as their alter-egos Naz Nomad and the Nightmares, and Gong. Still kicking myself for not going to see the Tad/Nirvana gig there in 1990. As for lost venues of yesteryear, I still miss the Duchess of York (Leeds) and the Queens Hall (Bradford).

Never went there but I heard it was a cracking good place to see a band. 

Several venues I've loved in my decades of gig-going have disappeared (most notably Liverpool Royal Court)...

Spike Island, Pulp. First time in a very long time I have heard a new song and liked it.

Bloody love Pulp, there was that whole 'Oasis vs Blur' thing going on in the 90's, I was always saying 'Neither of them, mate, Pulp are way better than either of them'!   ;)

I would have loved to see them live on the forthcoming tour but ticket prices were ridiculous. As is the case all too often these days.

Still, it's nice when a band you love have a new album out, their first in nearly a quarter of a century and something you thought would never happen.   :D

And yes, that song is excellent.

Not heard that one before M/R, but I have been wondering what are the past links between NMA and Idol / Generation-X for this colaberation to come about. Used to be a massive Generation-x fan, 10 years too late, but that's not my fault, blame the parents. Used to listen to their 1st album, big headphones on every night circa 1988.

Believe it or not, I was unfamiliar with Generation X other than the obvious singles until a year or two ago when for some reason or other I listened to their entire output... really rather good, I'd say they're an under-rated band.

The Leadmill has been evicted from it's building in Sheffield after a long dispute with the landlord.

Not sure how this affects the December gig?

Wasn't there some talk around these parts about 'Green And Grey' somehow being about Billy Idol?  I was never aware of any connection between these two fine acts (much less about them being in touch in relation to playing a gig) but maybe they've been pals all these years...   ???
