Show Me Devon: Live At Kozfest 2019, by The Fierce And The Dead 19 track album

#NowPlaying: The Fierce And The Dead: Show Me Devon: Live At Kozfest 2019. Another spin for this epic new/old live album. I have to say I have a preference for the instrumental material, although the newer album with vocals is very good. @mattstevensloop.bsky.social

Matt Stevens mid performance with The Fierce & The Dead at Ramsgate Music Hall. Everything is bathed in blue light, and Matt is showing how he's professional enough to pull a huge chord out of the bag without pulling a face like he's followed through. The back of the shot shows bassist Kev in a now infamous polyester shirt.

The above shot of Tommy Stinson is probably the greatest gig photo I've ever taken, although I know @mattstevensloop.bsky.social is fond of this one.

Llimited TFATD CD run – available to order for one week only, so if you want a copy for your collection, now’s the time. Once they’re gone, that’s it! They’ll be numbered, won’t be reprinted.

One of our last shows as a fully instrumental band. thefierceandthedead.bandcamp.com/album/show-m...

1986 was a golden year for comics, probably the most seismic since Stan Lee’s revolution 25 years earlier, but nothing was as formally and thematically audacious as Watchmen

Imagine how many Fierce & The Dead records we could make if we weren't working 40 hours a week at a day job? :) We're lucky to be doing it but it does make you think. We're entitled to nowt though. Lucky to do it at all.

It never ceases to delight us how many people seem to be discovering #TalkTalk and their legacy – proud to publish this, the only book about the band which includes contributions from Lee and Paul, the musicians who worked with them, James Mash, and an incredible array of fans. talktalkbook.com
