notes: The band returns 22 years after their last tour of North America in August 1991. Three of the 1988/1991 line-up (Simon, Bronwyn and Alex) are joined by members of Woven Hand/Sixteen Horsepower, The Dirtbombs/Simon Bonney band, Outrageous Cherry/Simon Bonney band and Dirty Three. Three Australians, four Americans and a German, operating largely from Detroit.

When "Rose Blue" started I was transported back to 1986 when I saw the band for the first time. It was almost as intense as back then. The new songs are superb as is the new album "American Twilight", which has just been released. There's a cool red vinyl version that comes with a poster and the CD.

About 300-400 people attended.
