96.0. "Shamen Gig" by CHEFS::HASTONM (Truth and Extentsionality) Fri Jun 03 1988 18:33

    Two bands worth catching tonight:
    
    The Shamen - of "Happy Days" fame/notoriety
    
    The Heart-Throbs
    
    Robbed in Rome
    
    
    All at After Dark, London Street, Reading

    I'll be there, anyone else?

    Well folks, I regret having to report that *neither* of the
    aforementioned bands turned up!
    The promoter slipped in a local outfit "Yea Jazz" as the headliners
    and they weren't much good notwithstanding that they only played
    for 45min.
    
    Apparently the Shamen cancelled (wonder if it was anything to do
    with their Beer Ad soundtrack "Happy days" being pulled by the Brewery
    - Youngers, I believe - spilling into their tour) and the Heartthrobs
    wouldn't support anybody else. Judging by the output of Yea Jazz,
    I don't blame 'em.
    
    Boo Hoo!
