We've just had news from Thomas, which I will quote directly: ".. I've agreed to be a guest onstage with my friend Dave Wakeling's band at 3-4 gigs in January 2006 at the House of Blues clubs in LA, Anaheim, Vegas and possibly San Diego. Here's the story: Dave's backup band often jam on my songs at soundchecks, and they begged me to come onstage at the end of one of their gigs and sing them in person. The HoB is having an anniversary series, and when Dave mentioned this idea they loved it. I decided it would be a piece of fun, and not very high-risk for me as I don't have to get my own band together etc. But just so folks know, it will be a party atmosphere with a (predictable!) choice of uptempo songs to match, I won't be up there on solo piano crooning 'Budapest By Blimp.' Apparently the news leaked out to Richard Blade, well-known LA 80's DJ on Star, and he has been playing my songs and old interviews. If it all goes well it may encourage me to come out of musical 'retirement' and do some shows of my own." Yes, he DID say that. xxx ~robin ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2005 15:09:50 +0100 From: "A. van Lammeren" Subject: Re: Alloy: Thomas on the wireless Hi alloyites, [First: let's try to be in California next January ;-) ] Like Andy I forgot this radio broadcast too, but was able to re-listen to it, and I glued the TMDR-tracks together into one mp3 file, on http://www.avl.dds.nl/TMDR_6music.mp3 Perhaps for some more easy to download from: http://www.avl.dds.nl/alloy.htm Tara, Anton. - -o-o-o-o- Some more info: BBC 6Music played three tracks from a "Live-album from 1984" Jane Gazzo said. I don't recall this album to be official. It's a BBC-live recording from The Dominion Theatre, during The Flat Earth tour. I'd love to have the whole show in FM-audio quality, or better. I found this show some time ago in the Yahoo group dedicated to Thomas. http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/iscaremyself But just as this mailling list, that group isn't very active. Well of course, there is so much more in cyberspace.... Is EZBoard the place to be now? So thanks to Tom, Andy and Steve. And the BBC!
