The GRAILS...tour and such

Loved BLACK TAR PROPHECIES but didnt buy the follow up albums cos on the basis of the excerpts I heard of them they seemed like a different band....all rather easy listening I thought
Now I see theyre gonna tour the UK in the spring and am wondering whether to go.
Does anyone else find a discepency with their material? Anyone know why?
Should I re-visit the recent albums and go to the gig? Are they good live?

they were bloody great at ATP last time.
At least I vaguely recall someone who was on around the time they were meant to be on were great. i was slightly intoxicated so it might have been someone else in fact....but probably wasn't

So you finally took the plunge after all these years of thinking about it.
How was it?

I remember them at ATP, they were like a pretty good mid-70s Hawkwind line-up. Only without the naff sci-fi lyrics and spoken word bits.

He's only jealous cos his eyes aren't
"convex lenses of ebony embedded in amber" Or something.

What's naff about it? Let's just say I'm not the world's biggest Michael Moorcock fan. Love the music and all that, but when I hear stuff like "The Wizard Blew His horn" it evokes much the same reaction as hearing Jim Morrison read his poetry - ie I just want to break into a Beavis and Buttheadesque sniggering fit.
You're right about one thing though - my eyes definitely are convex lenses of ebony embedded in amber, especially when I'm on the same drugs as whoever came up with that phrase was when they thought of it.
