the melodies were quite gripping and I enjoyed this stuff. I didn't actually know who it was during the set although heard someone say Tim and and googled it when home! (He's also of course the bassist for Gary Numan but then I never know who's in the band apart from Gary!!) I thought I wasn't gonna like this as it started sounded quite rocking and I thought it would be the cliched over done industrial rock which usually never sounds industrial at all! Far from it though as yes it was rocking but well crafted songs and great vocals. Tim Muddiman & The Strange were first up. I got to the venue early around 6pm but knew a spot at the barrier would never happen as he has some of the most obsessive fans ever and some prob never left the venue the previous night! looking at the crowd gathered in the line outside it was like there was a fire drill at a care home!! One bloke even wearing a Gary Numan Telekon era outfit and wearing a badly fitted wig! oh my days!! I shouldn't mock though I mean I am old too and don't wanna receive a clockwork orange style beating from these people next time I attend a Numan gig! besides they're a friendly well behaved audience and nothing wrong with being geeky and obsessive about great music!! I couldn't afford all but since I missed Telekon when he toured it a few years ago and did get to see the other albums he was doing the previous nights (Replicas & Pleasure Principle) I had to attend this one. This was the final night of a 3 night residency at this venue for Gary.
