julietI have lost my voice. This is Not Good.
General Khaki rocked massively - definitely worth going along, despite lurgy. Singer/guitarist wound up playing from on top of the crowd, kind of pressed against the ceiling. Top stuff. Much impressed generally - everyone should go see them! Tight, fast, fun, and with actual *tunes* making an appearance.
Sadly, none of these things applied to Kids Who Tell On Other Kids Are Dead Kids (the band before), who were basically unmitigated shite. Not together at all, no sense of timing or rhythm, just messy/chaotic in a very bad way. They appear to have fallen for that old cliche 'punk means not having to be able to play'. ERROR. For about 10-20 seconds every song there was a brief glimpse of some sort of potential, but then it disappeared again underneath the unpleasant mess.
No idea about the last lot owing as how I went home to nurse my sore throat & lack of voice. Sniffle. Off to bed now, in the vain hope that tomorrow I will be better.
