'This Is London' The Times. 6/12/07. Purple Weekend Festival, León.
One of my all-time favorit bands with Ride and Teenage Fanclub, since TV Personalities. Very strange behavior from Mr Edward Ball with wig. I interviewed the band before the concert for http://www.myspace.com/beattorturezine, then filmed them from side of stage. Bob Kelly (guitarist) gave me his signed setlist. Here is setlist him and Times play -
1. Biff Bang Pow
2. This Is london
3. Big Painting(for Kally)
4. Red With Purple Flashes
5. Controversial Girlfriend
6. Whatever Happened To Thamesbeat?
7. Up Against It
8. Chimes Of big Ben
9. If Only
10. Love Force Trauma
11. Cloud Over Liverpool
12. Manchester
13. Picture Gallery
14. Mill Hill Self Hate Club
15. I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape (no wig).
Remember "Stranger than fiction" anyone?? Very good track.

Great band! Bad wig though... The first three albums are definite classics. Go!, Pop Goes Art and This Is London are all vital stuff!
And Bob Kelly gets about! He played with three different bands at last years IPO in Liverpool! Nice bloke too...

The only strange thing about The Times was that they were so criminally ignored by the mainstream.
"This Is London" was an anthem for a generation (or the summer holidays at least!)
