It is official, they came, they played, they conquered. Second time round they were rockin!
A full set of their entire album, with a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Communication Breakdown” thrown in for good measure. They had the crowd pumping from the word go with slick guitar riffs, psychedelic jam interludes and screeching vocals! Anyone would have thought that we were at a gig sometime in the 70’s.
We went with Mignot and Pricilla, who also had a great time, although I was a little unsure of Pri’s immediate response, but she seemed to be bopping along by the end of it.
If there was any criticism, it is that the sound was way too loud. I am sitting here 12 hours later, with my ears still ringing which is probably not a great thing. They obviously don’t have the same legal limits on volume as they do in Australia. I would also say that their sound is almost too big for an indoor venue, we would both love to see them again at an huge outdoor venue, once they have some written some more material.
Couldn’t get over the amount of scalpers outside the venue, cruising about, and afterwards selling £16 merchandise for a fiver. I think somebody lost a load off the back of a truck maybe?
And we have to hand it to the guy who was begging in the tube station before the gig, who we later saw in the concert complaining about how loud it was, and then amazingly was back begging after the gig. Suppose he has to get his cash to afford his ticket for tonight’s gig somehow.
Got to dash,
Pete
