It’s been far from easy to find any information at all about this gig, which seems to have passed group followers completely by, probably as it took place in many people’s summer holidays with other plans already made. But it really happened, as the videos and the following report shows:

“More than a thousand people attended last weekend’s On the Sea festival, which took place on La Glea de Campoamor beach, according to figures provided by the organisers. According to these sources, hotel occupation in the Orihuela coastal area reached one hundred percent… In this musical event participating artists were Trans Am, Moon Duo, The Jonathan Reilly, The Fall, Los Plátanos, and Wau and Los Arrrghs!!”

This website previewed the gig:

The pertinent bit for our purposes says that “the [music] of the Americans Trans Am and Moon Duo complements The Fall perfectly…It hasn’t been easy to get these three groups over to Spain, given that none of them was on tour here.”
