This was my only time seeing the Handsome Furs before they unfortunately decided to call it a day. I'm glad I got to experience their live show, it's just a pity more people didn't feel the same way, as the tiny Deaf Institute was barely troubled by an audience of merely 40 or so people, enthusiastic though they were. The band even joked that it was good to see a larger audience than their previous show in Manchester!
A couple of points to note:
Firstly, Dan and Alexei decided to forgo using their microphones when talking to the audience between songs, so they obviously come across rather quiet in the recording.
Secondly, they dedicated the song Radio Kaliningrad to a couple in the audience who had met at a previous Handsome Furs show. I got this couple's email address after the show so that I could send them a copy of the recording, however, I subsequently lost it and therefore apologise profusely if, by chance, they ever get to read this!
Enjoy!
