I'm led to say 92 for this but would have thought 90 - see below. Interesting times these with dance and baggy really kicking in whilst the Pixies and Sugar were ushering in the grunge scene. It's to Manchester's credit of course that these sounds were mashed-up on many dancefloors before things became more polarised.

Sugar, of course, was Bob Mould (ex Husker Du) touring his classic Copper Blue album - released 92 hence the guessed date. I recall his storming gig earlier at the Boardwalk.

Interesting to see these booked together. New Fads, like James (wasn't there a crossover?) were always at the more esoteric end of the scene. Justin Unabomber played bass.
