Gigs and stuff!
As this is supposed to be a reviews page I thought it only right as I have been to quite a few gigs in the past month to do very small reviews on each of them. So here it goes....
Sept 12th-Smalltown America All Dayer-93 Feet East
Help She Can't Swim 9/10
Well this band cannot do any wrong in my eyes so I was never going to write anything bad about them, but they were on top form. Playing a few new tracks from their new EP "Commiting Socail Suicide" and loads of fan favourites from their debut album the band pushed themselves to the limits throwing themselves around the stage and almost ruining their instuments. Not much more can be said apart from "fuck your band, suck our band". Excellent!
Seafood 7/10
Slightly disappointed the crowd by only playing new unkown material. However, when the new stuff is as good as this you can't complain.
Hell Is For Heroes 7/10
I've never really liked this band but boy can they put on a good show. They've got some hardcore fans and I don' think they disappointed anyone.
Jimi's House (what date was this?)
The Wutars 8/10
What can you say about this band eh? They never get boring do they? I think the small cosey atmosphere suited them quite well. Very crowd pleasing.
Members Of The Public 6/10
Probably not the best I've seen this lot play, but you couldn't expect too much with a new setup and all. The new songs are really sounding great now though and the old favourites still sound as good as the first time I heard them. Very enjoyable non the less.
Sept 31st Camden Barfly
The Rosemary 8/10
the first time I've ever seen or heard of this band. I would find it hard to find a person in that building that night that did not feel something special within this band. With their retro sea shanty stylings these boys could go really far.
Kill City 6/10
Pete Doherty's childs mother.....yadder yadder yadder. Kill City are a serious band, not just a gimmick. However I think Lisa Moorish plays on her D-list status a little too much, but her excellent stage presence makes up for it. The songs are not so strong but I can see them getting better.
Oct 7th-Club NME-Koko
The Filthy Dukes 8/10
This band were excellent. They've got a really "now" sound and it would not surprise me if you find yourselves reading about them on the front page of NME next year.
Louis XIV 4/10
I think that was this bands name and I'm sorry if it wasn't, but they were either off form or terrible.
The Rakes 8/10
They couldn't dissapoint really. Too much fun, too many good songs.
Oct 8th-Frog-Mean Fiddler
The Noisettes 3/10
Interesting, noisey, nonsense.
Larrikin Love 7/10
I got on stage in a stage invasion (i'm a seasoned pro at this!) and played cowbell with the bass player from Mystery Jets! Woooooohooooo. Enough said. Oh yeah, the band were good.
