Can: Free Trade Hall, Manchester

IN ONE OF the most glorious cases of mismatching ever seen on a British stage, Can are preceded tonight by an agonisingly kitsch comedy jug-band called Brownsville Banned, whose act is approximately as subtle as the pun in their name: bum-flashes, smutty postcard humour, etc., the sort of debacle which makes you realise just how good the Bonzos were.
