notes: Hugo Race continues to be labeled as 'former Bad Seeds'. For the record, he was only in the Nick Cave's band from December 1983 till July 1984. Since he's had many bands: Wreckery (1984-1989), Transfargo (1998-2003), Sepiatone (1999-2008), Merola Matrix (2001-2008), Songs with Other Strangers (2004-2005), Humatic (2005), Dirtmusic (2007-), Fatalists (2010-), countless collaborations and of course his current band the True Spirit (1987-).

The band was in super form. A sweaty and exhilarating show! Belgian Nico Mansy joined as special guest. Nico was in the European line-up of the True Spirit (from 1996-1999), then he left for Los Angeles where he had a successful career in making soundtracks for commercials (http://www.nicomansy.com/).

There was only a vocals PA, the rest of the sound came through the stage amps. About 150 people sold out the place.
