Comments:
After last Jan at the Metro and the best gig I've ever seen, this was a bit of a disappointment. The band seemed to be on it all right, every time they launched into a number it was the familiar ferocious roar. But they would do 2 or 3 numbers, then complain about equipment. First it was the monitors, then the guitar, then another monitor....it just kept breaking the spell.
It was a bit of a let down really, good but not great. And it looked like there was way too much Grecian 2000 going on for mine.
The Audience:
30% students, 30% middle aged types and the remainder tatooed rockists. The only real wierdos were 2 dweebs trying mosh and failing.
Food & Drink:
Tried the Thai cafe at the back, which was ok in a food-court kind of way. Otherwise, standard pub drinks and (only slightly inflated) prices.
It Made Me Think...:
3 old blokes and 2 pretty boys still looks a bit of an odd mix. Particularly a gunslinging bass player who insists on pouting.
