Aftershow News: 24th June 2003
REM at Brixton Academy on Tuesday 24 June 2003.
There was a party at the venue after for 200
guests .Carling gave out the free booze for a
couple of hours .Did not see any members of any
other bands there but it was very busy .All of
REM turned up for about an hour . Peter Buck was
telling me how much he enjoyed Brixton as a live
venue and Micheal Stipe was cool and chatty to
everyone .He was wearing a peak cap with a
leather bomber jacket with his name printed on the back?? .He told me how the 2 Brixton shows
and Glastonbury Festival sets would vary by 4 or
5 songs as they had rehearsed 3 hours of songs.
Really good aftershow . REM manager / promoter
put up huge posters 6ft by 4ft in the bar with
each one giving details on REM UK shows this
summer below the photo by Anton .Looked good.
