Let's start a Kraftwerk Tribute Band!

For fans of Vaarks there is KraftVaark

Can we open with Trans Pennine Express?
'Rendevous in Sefton Park/ Leave Liverpool South Parkway in the morning on TPE/ In Stalybridge we sit in a late night caff, delayed connection on TPE'

There are two blokes at work called Bob. They keep wandering round singing 'We are the Roberts'

Is there room for a crap banjo player?

Absolutely, although we're getting perilously close to Chap-Hop.
Not that that's *necessarily* a bad thing...

 

[Chromatic]

I don't understand why they are booking such small venues.

To keep demand greater than supply and thus perpetuate the myth.

As much as I like Kraftwerk I do think they are living off reputation alone now.

Remember this @The Velvet Curtain ?

Agreed, they aren't producing any new music, and with only one original member left they are running with the idea that they are just 'music workers' and can be replaced whilst the art continues.

Still a good show though. M yfavourite cover of The Model is by The Bad Shepherds, the Northumbrian pipes give a haunting air to it.

Yes, still a good show!

Is that Ade Edmondsons band, or Mark Radcliffes?

 

[nickyboy]

I'll try for tickets at Brighton or Oxford.
Failing that, I'll go and see OMD or Human League - I can get tickets for them on Saturday for under £50!

Saw them both last year and they were both excellent.

Whilst Kraftwerk are probably the instigators of modern electronic music Human League were out there in '78

Give them a chance, they've had two albums in the last thirty years!!
(or thereabouts...)
I remember reviewing Tour de France Soundtracks with the phrase "It's not a lot to show for seventeen years work".
