Concert - Teenage Fanclub @ Ampere - Munich

Hi
GO FANNIES!
Teenage Fanclub, the biggest band that never was.
20€ + applicable booking fee
One of my favourite bands in a tiny venue singing singalongascotia classics.
Alternatively just turn up to see me go absolutely bonkers (more than usual).

I'll be going to that...hopefully they will mainly play songs off Grand Prix...& Big Star covers!

Not just "Grand Prix", I want songs off "13", "Bandwagonesque" - particularly "Alcoholiday" and any track from "Songs from Northern Britain".
I want "God knows it's true" and "What you do to me", "Everything Flows" and "Catholic Education".
Seeing as they don't really do songs that last over 3 and a half minutes, they should play loads.
*skips with joy*

..indeed ! would be cool if they toured together with Scotland's other biggest bands that never were ..like the BMX Bandits and The Pastels. Caught Teenage Fanclub a few times on the Bandwagonesque tour way back in '91/'92 ...would go just to hear 'What you do to me' !! A truly marvellous choon...

I've now got that "it's funny how the girls you want to talk to don't talk to you, it's funny how the ones that don't doooooooooooo" going around in my head.

Oh...I'm there.

<3 the Fanclub.

i will be there. Finally i can see them live!
Potentially it sounds like a "teenage fan of the teenage fanlcub", but anyway i ask it: does anybody know in which Hotel they will be based?

For anyone going to this concert, I recommend turning up early enough to catch the ´support´ band, The Posies. They rocked the Atomic Café a couple of months ago and are a likely bet to upstage the main act here tonight.

Sorry but the terms "upstage" "main act" and "likely bet" can't really be used when Teenage Fanclub are headlining. At least not in this universe.

I am guessing you haven´t seen The Posies play live before then?

Mind you, according to Concert: The White Stripes @ Zenith the terms "upstage" "main act" and "likely bet" are best not used when anyone is headlining...

Having just read the flyer I see The Posies are billed as ´Special Guests` and not as a ´Support` so fingers crossed this ridiculous policy won´t be applied here.

Anyway its gonna be interesting to see the best commercially unsuccessful bands of the 90´s from the UK and the US on the same night!

All we need now is for Something Happens to reform and get third billing on Sunday night.

I will attempt to turn up early and see the "special guests"

very nice, almost perfect concert.
the "almost" regards a stupid guy, shouting for "Radio" and "13" everytime the Teenies concluded a song.
Norman at first was nice, and ensured the song would have been played, than irritated, and they did not play Radio, neiter anything from "13".

i remember teenage fanclub from many years ago, shit! hope this gig was as good as their early years (despite the idiot, monsieur inspector!) reading 89 or 90 was my last recollection... must disappear to start writing (in secret) my novel in 30 days... (see other mad thread)

I'll be agreeing with The Inspector here. Excellent concert, truly excellent.

Teenage Fanclub looked like they were having fun, the head roadie and one of the guitarists had more grey hair than I do (made me feel young) and the songs were exquisite.
After they played "Your love is the place where I come from" I wanted them to stop and play it again. It was that good.

So songs with the perfect integration of a swiss watch but sounding a hundred times better, a seriously tight non-pretentious band and Eugene Kelly from The Vaselines as an encore playing acoustic guitar and singing "Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam".

As for The Posies, I only caught their last three songs and I wasn't very impressed. Lads, Pete Townshend shapes do not a good band make.

I´m sure I am not alone in thinking that The Posies were, as usual, fantastic last night! Quite appropriate Townshend should be mentioned, as The Who are the only other band I can think of capable of delivering such sophisticated, lyrically masterful songs with as much mindblowingly raw rock and roll energy as The Posies.
