Anyone seen The Fall of late?

They're coming to Sydney in October and I haven't seen them since, like, 1982!
I'm thinking I'll go. Thoughts?

Are they basically a Fall "cover band" with Mark E. Smith at the helm, or is that an oversimplification?

Peter Greenway (lead guitar), Keiron Melling (drums), Elena Poulou (keyboards, vocals), and David Spurr (bass) for what it's worth.

Apparently, that lineup is the longest serving in Fall history (2006 on), though they replaced the band that quit during their tour in 2006. I thought I remember reading that Smith recruited people from the audience to play because they quit right before a show.

Just a question, really.

When they bury Mark E. Smith, will he have arranged for a headstone that reads "THE FALL" ... or will it be his solo debut?

No, it'll probably read, "Here Likes Mark E. Smith-ahhh."

On Wednesday I was music shopping with a friend and he held up, incredulously, a 2-disc interview CD with Mark E. Smith. I told him "You could probably edit out the occurrences of 'ahhhh…' from that and have a single disc!"
