Massive Attack are playing at the entertainment centre March 21.

They're pretty alternate so I would say they would be a good candidate
for this new arena.

I don't disagree, as the progenitors of TripHop they are big heroes to me. I needed somewhere to go when Rave slowed down. (I also liked Huey Lewis and the News way back when. :lol: )

I just happy to be stuck with you... *cue sax crime to music* :wink:

I withdraw any comments I may have made about this theatre being a bland black box.
