ELASTICA - DISCOGS

This was a weird gig where Elastica were trying to prove some anti-media point in a big sulk, where they demanded all main lights be turned off. A meaningless gesture which meant that reviews would be unaccompanied by photos, and if that’s what they were happy with then fine, but it also affected Echobelly and S*M*A*S*H who were supporting.
