I turned up during Global Noise Attacks set at last nights gig in the Man on the Moon. They’re kinda fun but rather more, erm, on display than necessary…still, I’m guessing it can get pretty warm on stage even in the winter.
Next up were Rome Burns, who seem to have forgotten to invite Captain Sensible to turn on Simons lights, so there was an impromptu ceremony with the guy from Devilish Presley. (I wonder who turned on the Cambridge christmas lights this year…? It only got into my conciousness last year because there was some controversy “we can’t have someone from a band called ‘the Damned’ turning on Christmas lights!”). Still, Nev was rocking out, to the point of injuring himself if his post-stage mopey face was any indication of what was going on…
They were followed by Screaming Banshee Aircrew, who are a band I’ve been meaning to see for a long time, having heard a few of their recordings and been mighty impressed. They didn’t let me down – nice stage presence, beautiful voice, daft songs about weeding. Shame they managed to short themselves out before their finale, but somehow they seemed quite shocked that they’d managed to keep going so long without breaking anything. Must see more of these guys (though preferably without repeating the bit where I say stupid things to their cute female singer…).
Finally there was Devilish Presley, who came on after a considerable amount of furious faffing around by the sound engineer trying to ressurrect whatever electronics SBA had managed to short – I decided to sit out the way at the back for these guys, having seen them only last weekend. I like their show and they seem good people but you can have too much of a good thing, better to catch with people instead, even if its really too noisy for proper talking.
