This is all dead negative but......I tend to agree with you in your
frustrations, Edward.-over releases, gigs and the web site. I think my
expectations have always been to high when it comes to the aeroplanes. I
became a fan about a 2 years before Swagger was released and managed to
catch them at Ashton Court in '88, with a truly stunning set-mostly
spitting
out miracles. As i remember nick jacobs, ruth cochrane, wojtek, angelo,
Richard Bell, Gerard and Rodney coming on at the end.I'd never seen
anything
like it before and won't ever again, for pure entertainment.- After which
came the Swagger line-up.
I've written to the band(no response), been to most of their gigs in
Bristol
since '88, but this year I couldn't be bothered. I was very tempted by the
thought of Angelo playing, but as my better half said 'we've been to the
last 3 or 4 at the fiddlers and fleece, ashton court etc and they are
always
the same, still living off the glories of the early 90's'. I tended to
agree.
I don't know whether there were any live outings when the Larder sisters
were in the band (Radon daughters), but I would have liked to have seen
them
involved, something a bit different.
In terms of albums, I was desperately dissapointed with Cavaliers, which
was shambolic and really didn't work 'live'. Record player was a much
better
offering with some great riffs, despite the poor production quality.
I don't think that the 'blue aeroplanes' actually exist anymore as a band,
with one gig a year. It seems to just be Gerard and whoever he can get hold
of at the time. God knows how he pays the bills, I wonder if he signs on?
I do look forward to hearing the new (old) album, hope the productions good
and that there is more to come from the 'raise the roof' house of riffs.
Finally, if I was in the band I would definately subcribe to this service
and offer feed back to old cynics like myself, and offer people news that
the website has sadly lacked. After all we're the paying punters! ( Pat
Fish
suffers at the hands of my rambling emails, but always replies and
courteously! Now that's good customer service!!!)
On a positive note (not for Suede fans) now that Suede are finished perhaps
Alex Lee might offer a helping hand in kick starting 2004?
Sorry to go on,
Tom

> <html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>Went to see the
aeroplanes at Fiddlers club on Fri 5th Dec.They were terrific although the
sound seemed slightly unbalanced in the first half.But "Breaking in my
Heart" was a storming reminder of why theyre such a great band.I spoke to
Rodney Allen before the gig and he informed me the band had recorded loads
of material but was unclear when any of it was going to be
released,instructing me to ask Gerard which unfortunately I was unable to
do.Its a shame for all us aeroplane fanatics that the band only release
material on a highly irregular basis.I was told by Art Star as long ago as
March 2002 that an album's worth of material had been recorded and that the
band were touting the material around various distribution companies to try
and secure a British and American release.I remember watching Big
World Cafe in 1990 during which the aeroplanes were being highlighted as
one
of the bands to watch for the future.Their st!
> ar seemed to rise 92-94 and then dwindle with line up changes etc.Its
still hard to believe theyve only released one CD of semi new
material(Cavaliers) in 7 years </DIV></div><br
