saw them at a festival last year - Edsel does quite a good job on vocals, and overall I really enjoyed the show.

They were supposed to play Tattoo the Planet in 2001 but disappeared from the bill. As far as I'm aware their sole appearances here were the aforementioned Down support and they were here with Korn in 2005

Did they support Ministry when they played their 'last ever' gig here?

No, was at both those shows in The TriPOD in 2008.
If I remember correctly there was no support on either night (they played 2 nights due to the 1st gig selling out in minutes), as Ministry played for well over 2 hours each night.
My ex at the time was huge into Static-X. So that would have been a thing at the time if they had been playing too...
Was great seeing them again 4 years later in 2012 in The Academy  :laugh:
