Inge Kuijt - Comsat Angels
from C86 Show - Indie Pop · host thec86show
Inge Kuijt in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.comsatangels.org/missing.htm Comsat's fan Inge Kuijt is publishing her book Band. Fans. Friends. Music. The book is Inge's autobiography, a highly personal account of her "life with the Comsats". "I first saw and met the band in 1981. Since then I've seen them live 70 times. In the nineties I ran their Dutch fan club, and I am still regularly in touch with most band members. Not only did I meet the band early on, we became friends as well. I know their history well, because I've more or less lived big chunks of it with them, being there at sound checks, in their dressing room, and going out for a drink with band members after a gig - witnessing everything, then going home and writing it all down, in detail, in my diary. I have used these old diary entries as a basis for the book. They make up the main story line. It goes beyond my touring life though - the book includes my first visits to Sheffield and also the reunion gig of 2009. The book follows the band's career, their records and their Dutch touring life in chronological order. I have included many private pictures, both on stage and backstage.
