Story by Tony:
I'm guessing 89 for this as the year the album came out. Possibly earlier?
I loved KotS, great song titles, great lyrics, quintessentially Northern, gloriously out of step with everything else around at the time and that dirty violin sound! Like sawing a cat in half - only good! (8 out of 10 cats prefer not to be sawn in half.)
I remember failing to get into the Boardwalk for a KotS show being filmed for BBC2s excellent SnubTV music slot. (Who else was on?)

RobC Says –
I was at the Boardwalk that night 'SnubTV' were filming, the other group on the bill was 'Dub Sex'.
1963 Says –
Academy 3 was originally known as the Solem Bar until the early 80's when it was re-named the Hop & Grape, so not sure why this has Solem Bar on it....maybe people still knew it as that?
The Solem Bar name was transferred to one of the bars downstairs.

Yeah, pretty sure this was the H&G as Ive only been downstairs twice. Once for a Pulp aftershow party on the His n Hers tour with Jarvis DJing and once recently for a great gig by The Hold Steady.
