Blimey. I missed this one: the Betas are back playing together live once again. There was a couple of Roundhouse shows earlier this month.
Twenty one years after one of the most spectacular fuck ups in music history, they’re back making a familiar glorious racket.
Brilliant.
The Beta Band should have been a stadium band. Somehow we ended up with shitty Coldplay instead.
Life - and in particular the music industry - is never fair.
They didn’t exactly do themselves any favours back in the day. The £4k velcro suit is the stuff of music industry legend.
But it’s good to have them back, albeit briefly. Just don’t go raising your expectations.
Meanwhile, In Bowie News: I managed to blag a ticket for the V&A Archive for next week.
Hurrah!
