The Comsats were my first gig in 1981. They were the support to an unknown Irish band called...........U2 (or something like that). Both bands were brilliant and the gig spoiled me for a few years after that.

These guys were my favourite band for most of the 80's, got to see them in 83 and met them backstage, very nice people and were really open (as I was in a band myself at that time).

Same boat here. Ended up buying most of their records off of Amazon. Criminally underrated band. It's a shame that these guys were in their prime so long ago as a lot of this music is what I enjoy listening to and of course a lot of the time it's just not practical to see them live, particularly given the fact I live in Oz..

What a band. What a musical era. Found these on Peel live sessions yonks ago. Just got all their albums on CD. Would love to see them live again. Best band of and since the 80s. Long life and happiness guys.

If they had just come along later, if CSA, Chemeleons and The Sound had a reprint/relaunch when Interpol came along in 2001-2, they would've been huge. People did rediscover them around that time, but it was super quiet. Again, nobody wanted to bet money on them and it's a huge shame. They're one of the pillars of Postpunk. Joy Division gets most of the credit and it's just not that simple. There were many contributors, but you're forced to discover them on your own.

Nobody told me this was going on! Saw them play lots from 1979→1982, including the Tour in 1980 that U2 played on the same Bill. Brighton October 1980
@arthurburns15197 жыл бұрын
Dear John John, I witnessed that function as well. As my memory serves me, it was ; "The Top Rank Suite" at the bottom end, or the seaside end of West Street, Brighton. 'U2' were the headline band, and this was the period after the album "Boy", but just before "October" was released. And, as mentioned, "The Comsat Angels" were the "support" group. Mik Glaisher came on with a camouflaged headband, and during the gig a girl heckled S/Fellows, to which he responded, "I'm trying to do a performance here"....??!?
