I have to second the comment about Rodney's songs being a highlight of any
Aero's album - I think one of his greatest (and most underrated) moments is
Wond'ring Wild from Rough Music. He was standing right behind me at the
Bristol date of the last tour and it was great to see him get on stage for
Breaking in my Heart - it didn't seem quite right having him in the crowd
instead! Having said that, Gerard Starkie is doing a sterling job of
filling
his shoes.

Abi,
Everyone is telling the truth; the Aeros are utterly brilliant live (apart
from a horrible gig at the Garage in 98 or 99 - was anyone else there?).
The Aeros' albums are "slow-burners" and will continue to grow on you over
time, but seeing them live is breathtaking!
All the other posters seem to have overlooked the contribution of Rodney
Allen, so I thought I'd put in a word for the poor love! His backing
vocals
(for example on Your Ages - my favourite love song!) really complement
Gerard's spoken word, and a highlight of any Aeros album is the Rodney
Allen
song (or songs). You are guaranteed three minutes of pathetic,
angst-ridden, jingly-jangly indie-pop. From Beatsongs, "Fun" has to be one
of the band's best songs (the acoustic version on the 12-inch single of "Up
In A Down World, released God-knows-when is gorgeous!), and why "Different
Now" failed to make it onto Swagger remains a great mystery!
I saw Rodney solo (at my Freshers ball in 1989!) and had to endure a whole
set of it, which was taking things a bit far (as was the solo album
Happysad
- how much Billy Bragg had he been listening to?!?), but it was interesting
that, although Rodders (who, incidentally, still looks 12 years old!) was
unable to appear on the last tour, the band still played one of his songs!

Thinking the Bristol Christmas gig might be a good start if that all comes
about (here's hoping!). But yes, definitely willing to travel unless
they're willing to play Skipton in my field. Free cucumber sandwiches and
tea for all, followed by eccles cakes (hot or cold). And beer.
Yeah, they should certainly set a date for Skipton, s'meant to be.

all--
i want to echo what was said about rodney allen. he's a teriffic
songwriter
(his contributions to swagger and beatsongs being my faves), a great
singer,
and a lovely guy (did anyone know that rod's sister bev married alex lee?).
to my mind, the line-up can change but 2 constants must remain in order for
it to be the blue aeroplanes: gerard and rodney.
as to the live show--i've seen them too many times to count (but haven't
seen them since about 1998. there were some great guys in the band post
beatsongs, but that line-up was perhaps the best live band i've ever seen.
subsequent versions of the planes weren't able to match that, quite (to my
mind) and i lost a bit of interest, pining for the 'good old days."
does anyone know what john langely is up to???

John L. was drumming with the Aeroplanes again when I saw them in
London. And I think he's in Saturation Point with Julian Poole and
Joe Allen: http://www.saturationpoint.net/
Glad to see that other people rate "Your Ages": the perfect
soundtrack to a heatwave summer.

Sorry folks - now strike me down with fork lightning oh lord of music - but
I beg to differ about Rodney. Honestly? I know he's a decent fella 'n all
but this isn't about that. I think his songs added a naff dimension to the
BAs. There... said it... done... I'll be the Billy Nomates and the Xmas gig
from now on!
Apart from Saturation Point and the BAs, who nose dived slightly after he
left in the early 90s (or whenever it was - glad he's back though), I
believe John was also playing in a band called Witness. John Langley is up
there with people like Pete De Freitas from the Bunnymen as all time fab
drummers. Talk about constants - should be John/Angelo and Gerard.
