Re: [Simmons Drums] Live Simmons

2008-05-06 by ken_evans_99

The Foxx gig was awesome! It was John Foxx with Louis Gordon, and 
it's easily the most powerful live fully electronic show I've ever 
seen. *Highly* recommended if you get the chance, even if you know 
none of the songs! We also got a full screening of the film + 
soundtrack "Tiny Colour Movies" which was totally engrossing, but 
very few drums :-)

Having been an Ultravox fan (Foxx era and Midge Ure era) I'm now also 
a John Foxx fan.

Cheers,
Ken.
