Terminal Jive

Ticket
Academy 3 (Hop & Grape)
22nd March 1999
Story by Tony:

This was a great gig. Ultrasound 's 22-stone lead singer, Tiny, was as big and as "What you gonna do about it?" as the Gossip's Beth Ditto.

The buzz band of the moment, when Tiny sang (pre arrest) "Gary Glitter's gone to seed, who will lead us now?" a spontaneous response of "You! You will!" came from the new faithful.

I've got a copy of their album still sealed in a cool, black leather-esque vinyl bag. Just as well perhaps - whilst some hail it as genius, many reviewers panned it as hugely overblown and Prog-tastic and the band split soon after. Shame - we need more characters than that. Too many identikit, corporate indie bands these days.
