They're playing in LA (HOB, Sunset Strip), August 27 and 28. Anyone know what Martin Fry's been up to? Is this show worth seeing, or have they jumped the shark? Sooooo tempting...

according to abcmartinfry.com these are tentative dates
the ABC album Skyscraping was pretty good, but it's been a while

I saw ABC a couple of years ago at the Vanderbilt on Long Island. They just stuck to all their hits, and did not do any other album at all (if it was an a-side, they played it). At the time, one of the members of Heaven 17 was playing with them, and it really wasn't a bad show at all. In fact, it was worth it to see Martin Fry come out in the silver lame suit for the last encores.
