Anyone else on here into them?

I saw them play their new LP live on Friday night in Calgary. Part of me wanted to say "hoary old prog-folk nonsense" the other half "absolute fecking brilliant" - the latter half won! I love 'em - great show & a great concept LP.

    Both the Crane Wife and the new Hazards of love are fantastic albums, hope they get over to the UK

    I saw them at the Royal Festival Hall in London in 2007. Got into them when I read that one of their influences was Robyn Hithcock.


    Very good gig, big empty stage with the band spread all over it. No gimmicks just the band.

    Fantastic band. Wasn't too sure when I read that Hazards Of Love was going to be some kind on rock opera concept album but they pulled it off brilliantly.

    Thommo - They've just announced they are playing the Kentish Town Forum on November the 18th and the Coronet on the 19th. Tickets on sale Wednesday morning.
