[from London] lead singer’s voice
is some mix of Peter Murphy and David Bowie which sounds amazing but they’re
not – they never particularly struck me in the 1990s and I figured out why once
I saw them live some 20 years later – he’s just too happy – lead singer Richard
Butler, looking either very old or wasted from years of drugs, wore a little
scarf and danced with little glad-hands on the stage – this is not the sort of
behavior I want from Peter-Murphy-voiced musicians – I’m being too hard on them
though – lots of their songs are evocative of old times – I don’t know their
body of work well enough to be critical (been together since the 1970s!) but
they also don’t motivate me to find out more – there’s something one toned/bland
about their music (Photo courtesy of
