Adventures in the Mouse House

So my brain goes to strange places.

When the upcoming Voltaire gig was announced, I realised that Voltaire is the only artist I've seen *more than once* on either side of the Atlantic.

I got to thinking about other bands I've seen both here and in Canada/the US. So far I've got:

Dresden Dolls/Amanda Palmer
Peter Murphy
House of Love (The first time I saw Peter Murphy he was supported by House of Love)
Dead Can Dance

I may or may not think of more.

Anybody up for this, or am I on my own?

Cinema Strange will be playing in London on the 14th of February. (details here)[1]

The problem is, I already have tickets to see Duke Special here in Bristol the following day (15th). As I won't be working, I should be able to do both from a logistics point of view. However, I do need to get a handle on Not Spending Money.

I suspect I shall have to see how things work out nearer the time.

[1] They've had a new album out since August, which I haven't heard or bought, which should tell you all you need to know about the state I've been in.

I just got the latest Projekt newsletter and got excited that Unto Ashes are doing a European tour.

Sadly, it's a continental European tour with no UK dates:
