Really looking forward to this show.

It should be noted that the namesakes of Meltzer-Hart were songwriting
force behind the late great local power-pop band "Frosted Sugarbombs".
Over the last 2 months, I've had the distinct pleasure of hearing
these guys work up their new stuff at rehearsals, and all I can say is
that this Saturday 12/1 at Broad Street Cafe, expect an evening of
really well-written, hook-laden pop confections and all-out rockers...

BTW - "A Refusal To Mourn The Death, By Fire, Of A Child In London" is
actually a poem by Dylan Thomas:

Never until the mankind making
Bird beast and flower
Fathering and all humbling darkness
Tells with silence the last light breaking
And the still hour
Is come of the sea tumbling in harness

And I must enter again the round
Zion of the water bead
And the synagogue of the ear of corn
Shall I let pray the shadow of a sound
Or sow my salt seed
In the least valley of sackcloth to mourn

The majesty and burning of the child's death.
I shall not murder
The mankind of her going with a grave truth
Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath
With any further
Elegy of innocence and youth.

Deep with the first dead lies London's daughter,
Robed in the long friends,
The grains beyond age, the dark veins of her mother,
Secret by the unmourning water
Of the riding Thames.
After the first death, there is no other.
