Bands you discovered as support acts

I saw Wild Beasts (now sadly no more) supporting British Sea Power at a gig on a ferry on the river Mersey in around 2007.

Also saw the killers supporting British sea power in a room above a pub in Lincoln, called the lincoln bivouac

The Slow Readers Club supporting Puresence at Gorilla. Now they are probably my favourite band.
Also Working Men's Club supporting New Order at Heaton Park last summer. I'd heard a couple of their singles on 6Music, but they blew me away with their intense live performance.

Were they called slow readers club when they supported puressence or were they still called omerta? Saw omerta a few times supporting puressence. I bought their debut single “everyone is frozen” on vinyl. Still have it, copy number 21 of 300.

They'd become Slow Readers Club by the time I saw them.
 
Not everyone’s cup of tea but I love the Delays, again from the first moment I saw them supporting the veils at the Amsterdam paradiso in 2004. Sadly Greg the lead singer and main songwriter passed away last year at just 44. A lovely man, god rest his soul
 
I saw The Railway Children in 1990 at a small venue in Birmingham (it was either Goldwyns or the Hummingbird, can't remember) and Blur were supporting. They were just starting out and were relatively unknown at the time. I was at the front and watched Damon Albarn climb on a speaker stack, lose his balance and pull a lighting rig down as he fell off. I thought he was a fucking prick then and an even bigger prick now. He is the Sting of Britpop...pretentious twat.
....oh yeah I forgot to say, security kicked him out of the gig that night which was very amusing.
