Hair experimentalists, play a end of year Uni tour...

30th November University, Warwick
1st December University, Bangor
2nd Met University, Leeds

Support for all three dates comes from Chikinki & Tom Vek. Plus the Coopers will be djing'n'drinking into the small hours. See coopertempleclause.co.uk for more details.

you can't blame the DiS folks for reporting this late.. it's not like TCTC are making huge waves lately.

Re: Cooper Temple Clause: End of Year Tour

It's not exactly like we've reported after the shows have happened. Yes this is reported late, but it's also a slow news day and people are interested/unaware of the dates, etc.. tho I think they're nearly all sold out.

Any truth in the rumours that TCTC may well be dropped by their label does anyone know? Hope not.

Re: Cooper Temple Clause: End of Year Tour

Although i would miss them... in fairness 'kick up the fire...' had nothing on 'see this through...'

'see this through...' was a truly ace record though in my opinion...

Re: Cooper Temple Clause: End of Year Tour

i've had this argument with lots of people, but i prefer the second record. the first was full of great songs, as the singles leading up to it suggested, but in the end i don't think it gelled so well as a complete record. kick up the fire is extremely satisfying to listen to from start to finish... don't think i'll ever like promises promises but i love the rest of it, it's intense but avoids dramatic cliches, a v. moving record.

I still love the first album, it's so haunting, and i just love the 'depressing' album cover, suggesting "let's just kill ourselves". A year ago i fell madly in love with them, then Didz went and got hitched, and then they supported The Cure! as a result their credibility is on the slide,i'm afraid, that's why i have awarded them 3 and half stars.Don't get old before your time lads.Still dig the hair.

Re: Cooper Temple Clause: End of Year Tour

There we have it, then. To avoid becoming shit, all you have to do is stay single and refuse offers to support The Cure on tour.

The first album was amazing, a true tour de force, on the second album they just tried too hard to be credible songwriters etc and a bit of the wall blah blah blah and it just didnt work, the album is just a bit of a mess.....

moral: just do what you enjoy and never ever ever ever listen to what the record company say.....

they will be back on form I reckon

Tonight in Bangor, here goes, I'll be fucking pissed off if theres a low attendance, People complain about there not being enough gigs in Bangor, & when they do actually come they don't show up. Come on, what else you gonna do, Go The Octagon?

Actually, Spider isn't far off the mark, look at what happened to the Beatles when they let Yoko Ono get involved...
