Just got back from going (alone) to a Blockheads gig at a local theatre. I was very pleasantly surprised to hear how good they sounded even sans Dury. Even more surprised to see there was a smattering of people under 50 in the audience. The support band, the Sex Patels (yes you read that right) were good too, with Indianized versions of some punk and post-punk greats (though in fact only one of the band appears to be Asian and the rest are white as could be).
I still feel like death warmed up in an underlying sort of way, but now there is a layer of cheerfulness on the top, somewhat akin to the whipped cream which is the only really worthwhile part of a trifle. Hit me slowly, hit me quick, hit me, hit me, hit me...
