Venue:
Thekla, Bristol

A wet and windy Monday night in Bristol so why venture out? Some things are worth the effort. Hence Claudia. Propaganda’s “A Secret Wish” and the remix “Wishful Thinking” were/are the perfect combination of impact and nonsense and the best thing about ZTT. The OK people knew/know them. Long since separated from” “the band” (if they were ever that) Claudia continues to pursue a range of interesting collaborations. This was mainly songs from her new-ish album “Where else…” some older songs, plus a few covers. A couple of Propaganda songs too.C laudia sings, a guy plays keyboards and another guy plays guitars. You can you-tube the rest. I particularly love her version of “Everyone Says Hi”.
The audience:
Select, appreciative
It made me think..
…we had faces then.
Wow, thanks for the review. I shall have to check if she’s playing near me. I loved Propaganda back in the day and played A Secret wish almost incessantly, must dig it out and play tonight.
Last time I saw her live was when she was in Act with Thomas Leer. 1988? For all their studio sound I remember Propaganda live being better than I would have imagined. Here’s a clip from their Outside World tour back in 1985. I saw them at Rock City
German and exotic are not two words I would normally put together but it’s definitely the case with her and the music she makes.
Officially OK people.
