Saw the House of Love in 1989. They just played the second album in order with no chat, very faithfully to the record, until nearly the end when the aptly named Terry Bickers threw his guitar at Guy Chadwick (though missed iirc) and walked off. The rest followed and that was it. So I hope you have a better experience...
Seen them a couple of times recently. Bickers isn’t with them anymore (again!) but there is a father and son guitar and bass duo in the line up who are excellent, with the songs faithfully recreated.
