I saw them here for the first time back in 1983 (For the record: First time Brix played with the band).
Opening for a band as iconic and indefinable as The Fall could be considered a rather daunting and unenviable task as support acts can often sound like a pale imitation of the headliners. Japanese psychedelic sludge rockers Bo Ningen are a brave, if not unlikely, choice for the night.
