Robyn Hitchcock

[Robert J]

I am going to see Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 this Friday in Toronto. Guitarist Peter Buck of REM is in the band.

I know there's a few Syd Barrett fans here. I last saw Robyn in Detroit in 88 or 89 - the Globe of Frogs Tour ("Balloon Man"). Very interesting performer and composer.

Here's the tour sked -

11/8 Metro-Chicago,IL

11/9 The Magic Bag-Ferndale,MI.

11/10 The Mod Club-Toronto,ON.

11/12 Beachland Tavern-Cleveland,OH

I own all of Robyn's stuff except for the new CD.

It's too bad he is not coming back to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area for this release.

Seen him a few times and he's always entertaining. Saw the current lineup at a festival in the UK this summer and it was as strong as ever.
