I went over from London to the Amsterdamnnnn! gig with a couple of old school friends. What a show. Hadn't seen them for a while, last time they played in London was on the 'Give a monkey a brain' tour with support from Bad Brains. Anyway, they seemed to warm up after the first half-hour (probably something to do with all that weed) and Angelo looked smooth with his bright pink bowler hat. First time that I'd seen the new line-up and they were tight, turning the show into a warm vibe ska fest. I left a few flyers for the club night I run in London on the stage while they were playin and on the Madd Vibe stall in the foyer. Wanted to get catch Angelo after the show to ask him about DJ-ing when they next come to London (supposedly December) but didn't manage it. Shit! If anyone knows a contact for them, swing it my way. Damn, I would have liked to have hooked up with you people at the show, only just checking my messages now after being away for a while.

Rich.
