Two nights later, further south in Toulouse at a gig presented by a local radio station, The New Christs gave another fantastic night of rock'n'Roll fury.
This evening they changed the set around and also added "The March" and "Plastic Whirl', two more new songs, halfway through. When they were temporary held up by some technical problems, there was another unexpected treat. Rob said "here's a slow song for you.....a once in a life time event" and sang a powerful vocal accompanied by Owen's loud guitar lines and just a little bass from Dickson.
So, here in France I can say we had two wonderful nights of rock'n'roll from one of the greatest of all the many Australian bands. For me, more fun than anything since last time Rob Younger was here in 1978, when Radio Birdman played with the equally legendary American band The Flamin' Groovies. Please don't wait so long next time, Mr. Younger!
