...And No-One Saw That Coming

Brian Blush Joins The Peacemakers On Stage

Well, it takes a fair bit for me to take any interest whatsoever in the Peacemakers these days. (And after doing a bit of research on the news, I was just given more proof of why. Heaven On A Paper Plate? Fuck, that's getting seriously ridiculous, even for Clyne!) But y'know, news that Brian Blush joined the band on stage last night is enough to spark some momentary interest, no matter how over The Peacemakers you are.

Admittedly I originally thought either I'd read it wrong because I hadn't fully woken up, or that it was someone trying to be funny/clever. Which happens from time to time, and is always lame. But no, the event, as reported by the Music Matters Project (at least that's what clued me in on Facebook this morning) really fucking happened. As hard as it is to believe, there is audio and video proof of it.

The shame of the event is that it was certainly not Blush's finest performance. Which I guess happens when you've been out of a band for 12 years. Though, there was clearly more to this than be unrehearsed. Being such an unfathomable occurrence, it's a shame that it wasn't more technically together. But either way, fucked if I (or anyone else) ever expected this to happen. It really took a while to come to terms with it not being a hoax.

Not that it changes my stance on, or makes me more interested in the band, but all the same, noteworthy and just another thing of late that left me thinking I was living in bizarro world.

Of course, if in 3 months time I learn that Brian is joining the Peacemakers or something, it'll be clear that it was actually a desperate attempt by Roger to regenerate interest in his once great band that he has successfully completely run into the ground.

Cynical much? Hell yeah.
