It\u2019s been quite a while since I last saw Teenage Fanclub. I was quite late in coming to them, initially dismissing them as a Britpop band (without ever having heard any of their stuff). It was when I moved in with a friend Martin circa \u201899, where \u2018Grand Prix\u2019 was on heavy rotation on the living room stereo, that I realised what I\u2019d been missing. It was a joy to explore their earlier LPs – Great songs and great guitar work with beautiful harmonies. \u2018Howdy!\u2019 arrived soon after and I was hooked. We saw them a few times around that time but then they seemed to fall off the music scene for a while.<\/p>\n

Hearing \u2018Sparky\u2019s Dream<\/a>\u2019 \u2018Star Sign<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018I Need Direction<\/a>\u2019 tonight put a huge smile on my face. I\u2019m glad to report that all the new stuff sounds as good as the old stuff with \u2018Baby Lee<\/a>\u2019 striking a chord with me. The only down side was the blinding lights that hit the audience far too often \u2013 I was expecting having my ears assaulted, not my eyes.<\/p>\n

Having 3 song writers in the band means they only have to write 3 or 4 songs each and they have an LP \u2013 pity they don\u2019t do it a bit more often.<\/p>\n
