For the last few weeks, and for the next few days, something billed as 'Tom Tom Club' has been performing at the Brighton Festival Fringe.
It's not the Tom Tom Club you've heard of. It appears to be some troupe of Australian 'modern' 'punk' acrobats who leap around while someone plays hip hop music.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
I mean, for fuck's sake! The other day I was strolling past the box office, and I overheard some young guy saying to his mates "Wow, that's that wicked female bassist, what's her name?" I had to step in and say "Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads, and it isn't her, it's just some bunch of chancers who've stolen the name", otherwise he was about to shell out on tickets.
If this sort thing is acceptable, fuck it. Next year I'm gonna get a bunch of my mates to ride around inside a marquee doing wheelies on their bikes, while another bunch of my mates bash upturned dustbins with baseball bats, and I'm gonna call it 'Public Image Limited'. I'll charge £20 admission. Sounds fair?
