Camden Crawl – Electric Ballroom, London, Saturday, 25th April 2009

Add Reformation to the list.

Blindness is dead. Long live Reformation.

I have to say I'm looking forward to hearing 'Cowboy George'.

I made a very last minute decision to chance this as I didn’t have a ticket. Got to Camden at 9, was in the venue at 5 past 9. The Consortium don’t do queuing.

I’ve not been that gushing regarding recent Fall performances, but this was absolutely stunning. Best performance I’ve seen from this post Yank line up.

Completely different attitude. Really going for it. Band looked happy and relaxed. Big difference from Koko. Funnel Of Love had been adapted with new faster bits.

Mark is walking with a bit of a limp, wearing a back support body belt. Looks in good shape considering.

Great young crowd as well. I felt old at a Fall gig which is saying something. Mark was chucking mics into the crowd, but no one knew the words!!!

My best Fall gig for a good long time. Well worth the effort and cost.
Now I just have the wife to deal with.

Well, I'm glad someone made it.


Another gig missed. Bugger.

And Elena appears as an angel.

I knew you'd make it!

Good work HPAFP!

Bloody missed this one and seems it was excellent by the above reviews - any chance anyone recorded it?

Camden Crawl? Camden bloody Queue more like! Queues for everything I wanted to go to when I turned up about 8, saw about 20 minutes of Peggy Sue at the Monarch, ambled down to the Electric Ballroom queue which grew & didn't move. Gave up, figuring the Fall would be late anyway, and went to see Threatmantics back at the Monarch. Came back after them, the queue was even bigger, and a nice sign saying 'Venue Full, No Entry'. So, no Fall for Pomfob this time

Instead I saw the truly astonishing An Experiment on a Bird in the Airpump - sort of a goth / noise Slits - so it's not all doom & gloom. And of course, there's always Hinterland on Thursday (any tips on how to beat those queues?)

Best pic EVER.

Well done, HPaFP!

Good news indeed.I trust Hanley PAFP.

Cowboy George.

Thanks a lot, Hanley!! Fucking legend!

How great does that sound!?

Found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYbJbVRV0qI

& Hanley, too! Brixie as vice!!!

looks and sounds fantastic - youtube clip looks especially great - what a rebound

THEYRE DOING COUNTRY WESTERN!!
Oh my fucking god, why do I live in Brazil?

can anyone get me a UK visa, a job and cheap housing?

At the end of Latc Key Kid, did he, or did he not, said "Thank you goodnight" ?
If yes, ow many years, or decades, since he said thinks like that ?

sounds good, a little bit chisellers-ey, just needed a noisy bit at the end

Like Cowboy George a lot (the new song and not the former president). Well done Hanley

Great version of Latch Key Kid too, looking forward to the rest of this one, the new album and Beachdown Fest.

This is all very promising.

Has been months since I saw them last and informed t'other half last night "We need to go see The Fall"

Thanks once again to the brave men and women of the Consortium, without whom blah blah blah...

Haven't heard it yet but I'm sure Cowboy George isn't going to be some twangy country & western-type number, is it? I mean, that would be too obvious, right?

Very pleased with with 'Cowboy George'. It lives up to the sense of anticipation generated by the title. I think 'Bury' is coming along nicely too. There is still a good chance they could screw these up when they put them down on record, but at least we have good versions to remember. Thx HanleyPAFP.
