RIP Andy Kershaw. Here he is introducing The Fall and Michael Clark’s dance troupe on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1984 - wearing a Marc Riley & The Creepers t-shirt. Brilliant. youtu.be/1cVegCDlbkA?si=id0Q…
@fallcontinuum assume you know that that REMEMBERANCE R is a late era fall track from The Remainderer 10" EP, 2013, the first time they had a two-drummer line-up since Wonderful & Frightening, though you wouldn't really know it from REMEMBERANCE R, or from Race With The Devil...
This week on Oh! Brother, we’re delighted to present a live episode with @simonWolstencr1, for a spirited look back at The Fall in 1994. We revisit Middle Class Revolt, Peel sessions, a US tour, shifting line-ups, Brix’s return, Julia Nagle’s arrival, and all the usual chaos. ( )
