Anyone into them? I watched them last night in Wakefield and can only say that they were bloody brilliant. They might be worth a listen If your your into the slightly more proggy side of things. Great brass section, plenty of humour, great crowd atmosphere, support act not that cracking but overall well worth the £20.

I've been quite a fanboi, seen them a few times from (almost ) their beginnings. Highlight for me was Race for space at the Leicester space centre .

I guess they're entering to difficult phase as the novelty of using PSB's needs the right subject?

Hmmmm you could b correct. But there are still years and years worth of PSB's out there. I'm predicting an album about either the development of the new motorway systems we have now or the threat of the four minute warning. Both subjects have plenty of 1950s type broadcasts.

At the Proms this year they did a full set of The Race for Space album to commemorate the Moon Landing that was shown on the BBC.

Never seen them live but have 4 or 5 of their cd's which I always enjoy when I am in the mood for that type of thing.

We have seen them a couple of times, once in Manchester and 1 of the nights in the working mens club in South Wales to release the Every Valley album.

This is top notch. Takes an OK album and makes it a great live experience.
