I met simonsatori and we had a bit of a wander around the fair and grabbed some food before heading to the Man in the Moon.
We got to the gig to find that there were four bands due to play not the two I had expected, and that the first were on stage already. They were passably good generic metal support band material, give a few months to tighten up and they could be really storming.
The crowd seemed a little polar – there were quite a collection of young girls, all playing fangirl down the front by the band, and there were a bunch of old guys hanging out toward the back of the venue.
Next up were a band trying to be Soundgarden, but not really succeeding, then there was something of a pause in proceedings while the singer of the next band was shoehorned into his rubber shirt – there is a time to give up with the rubber and I suspect that when it becomes difficult to put on that time has come.
Finally Kruezdammer came on, to a shout of ‘7 minutes’ from the sound desk. Just as things were getting rolling the band disappeared, looking not their most happy. We got two songs, which was something of a disappointment.
