How we once swooned over dance-goth chick Toni Halliday, so beautiful in that searing white light that would wipe out the imperfections on Jimmy Nail’s face.

We played lead track ‘Coast Is Clear’, a poppy My Bloody Valentine-lite racket with the catchy ‘Now I’m sick, and always will be’ line. I felt like that on Saturday. The ‘Blindfold’ EP’s ‘Ten Little Girls’ was the better song, but this was the better EP. They loved their EPs. They did about nine of them, quality tailing off sharply after the third. The final hurrah must’ve been coruscating.
