An amazing and underrated band, and yes, always astonishingly loud!

They are supporting The Cure in France this summer, suggests there will be other dates. They are just as you expect them to be live, very stylish.

Growing up in Redditch, AATT are part of my DNA. I went to the same school as Budgie ( he was in my sister's year) and later worked with him at the town's Our Price records. Also lived on the same street as his parents! I only saw them once, in London in 1988. An excellent show.

Mrs Shimmetry nearly lost the plot when we couldn't get a very good viewpoint last time we saw Aldous at Bristol O2, not taking any chances this time!

Top sis. I never got to a gig at the Odeon, though I did see The Spy Who Loved Me, King Kong and The Doors there. They are films, haha.

The journey back home is almost as legendary as the gig amongst my mates. Simon's mark 1 escort had some sort of gearbox issue and we drove all the way back to Bromsgrove in second gear. Dave and I fell asleep and Simon recently admitted he'd fallen asleep at one point too but somehow didn't crash.

The exact first gig I really wanted to go to. I didn't.

Was so expecting that penalty shootout to be a horror show, but I was very wrong. It was perfect, even Mepham missing made it more so. Big up Bostock, indeed.

Sweet! I was at the Lemondrops too, and coincidentally my wife was as well. I didn't meet her for another fifteen years, but we had been in the same room! Wednesdays at the Powerhouse were brilliant too, well worth the taxi back to Redditch at 2am.

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist.
Probably less cool than yours now, but as a just turned 17 year old in June 1986, The Mission at The Powerhouse was everything.
