I went to see Jah Wobble & the Invaders Of The Heart last night. They played The Apex Theatre in Bury St. Edmunds, a gig which had originally been scheduled for April last year, but was cancelled at short notice. Last night was a cosy, under attended affair. The band ran through their set in 90 minutes. Playing three Public Image tracks that I recognised, the highlight of the whole night being an excellent version of ‘Poptones’. There were jazzy, improv-style interludes, as well as a cover of ‘Liquidator’, amongst other stuff. Wobble moaned about his lumbar cushion and generally payed the geezer from his chair. All very nice. On the way out a chap in the row behind me asked me if I’d enjoyed it, and then said that he’d been to the gig he did in Chelmsford, which was around the time of the cancelled Bury one. At which time he’d played for three hours and had his two sons in the band. I had wanted to go to this gig, but the missus said she wasn’t interested. D’oh. Anyway, this track, as can be seen from the line up, is a bit of a curiosity, and comes from an eponymous EP. Francois Kevorkian was also involved. And now I think about it, it doesn’t sound a million miles away from the spaced out interludes of last night.
