R.I.P. Tony Wilson

Tony Wilson, a man largely responsible for the Manchester scene via his TV show, club, and record label, has died.

Thank you, Tony for Joy Division, New Order, and the Happy Mondays among others.

If you haven’t already seen 24 Hour Party People, you need to rectify that situation. It’s a love song for the Manchester scene and a semi-fictional biography of Tony Wilson, but still an enjoyable movie, even if you don’t care about A Certain Ratio.

As always Warren Ellis has the perfect succinct take.

This photo was taken by Derek V. Stewart shortly after our last show at Little Brother’s. Kristall and Brandon look good, Mike looks a little tired and I just look like I’ve had a rough night at Fight Club. It’s not far from the truth.

YFA at Little Brothers for the last time

I’m going to miss Little Brothers. Come join us for one hell of a send-off. This is the second to last night of Little Brothers and we’re honored to be a part of it.

Brainiac

10 years and a couple days ago, Tim Taylor, the lead singer of Brainiac was killed in a car wreck. It doesn’t seem like 10 years ago. Brainiac still doesn’t sound like a band that stopped making music a decade ago. Everything from Smack Bunny Baby to Electroshock for President still sounds new.
