Face Of Cheam

Upon entering the Borderline, the support were covering Eleanor Rigby. They were called outside royalty and their original stuff sounded ok. However, the borderline no longer serves Tuborg so had to make do with a £3.40 pint of San Miguel. Luke Haines has a new album coming out but only played a handful from this with the rest of the set concentrating on his Autuers stuff such as Showgirl, Light Aircraft On Fire and Unsolved Child Murder. A heckle of "play the hits" resulted in Luke stating that 'they are all hits" which was funny. Bad Reputation from his last album was also played with asides in the song stating that Ricky Gervais took exception to the Gary Glitter references, this after his routine included a bit about raping a seventy year old. Nice to see Mr Haines still has his dark humour and ending with Lenny Valentino it was a good night. The only shame was that upon leaving I walked past where the Astoria used to be and it is now just a large crane.
