I'm confused on the whole Wonder Stuff reunion thing. This is the official Wonder Stuff? I thought they were impostors fronted by some minor member of the Wonder Stuff. Last I heard (a year or so ago), the main Wonder Stuff member(s) were thinking of suing to stop some group from touring under the name Wonder Stuff... Alas, I will miss this show as I have other plans.

There are two original members -- Miles Hunt and Malc Treece -- Miles is the lead vocalist and primary driver of the band.  If you've got him, you've got a good version of the band.
 
 The original four reunited for a tour in 2000, but fell apart.  
 
 The Wonder Stuff line up consists of band founders Miles Hunt (vocals/guitar) and Malc Treece (guitar/vocals) with the new additions of former RDF (Radical Dance Faction) bassist Mark McCarthy and Andres Karu, former drummer for Love In Reverse. As Miles said in the summer of 2004, ??It??s taken a line up change, not our first admittedly, but when it comes to getting a record right, a band has gotta do what a band has gotta do.?

Too early....I will be by, though, to see As Fast As, described as "pure power pop from Portland" -- Maine, that is.

The O.C.!!  Then a vanilla vodka and ginger at home before hitting the road (well, hitting the bus really).

I enjoyed the songs I knew, but there were not a whole lot of them.

I LOVED the songs I knew, which was probably 60-70%.  And dammit, Miles does put on a fun show.  He's quite a character, and his dimples still go on for miles (ha, no pun intended).  Really gives him a sweet yet evil look.
 
 The show made me pretty sad...there were about 75 people there, about 40 of whom were standing in front of the band.  Luckily there was some dancing and energy, but I just can't imagine that a band with so many UK #1s could only pull in 75 people.  (Though even back in the day I was one of few Wonder Stuff fans I knew...).
 
 Also, to find the set list (which was exactly the same last night as the one I posted from April) I found a Stuffies Message Board, and about 5-8 of the folks at the show are following the band from show to show.  So there were some regulars there (who go out drinkin' with the band 'til the very wee hours...).
 
 Actually, knowing the set list never changes, not an optimum band for following around the country...though you know you can always get a ticket.    :(  
 
 Good show, though -- I had a great time, and had lots of room for jumping...
