Our show at The Carlton went well, except the stage is too narrow . Next time ( if there is one ) I'd like to play on the floor.
The surprise of the night was new band Chain, made up of 14 year olds . They were tight with a good sense of melody . It's good to see some actual young up and coming bands starting to play.
IQ 78 are fucking great also. Check them out when you can. And my feelings about Knife Manual are well documented . I fucking love those guys.
Other new bands I've had the pleasure of seeing at The Phoenix are Bug , with the lovely Dan on vocals. They are combination of melodic music and somewhat yelling/screechy vocals, and it works. I need to see them again soon. Also Skull, with Mikey Jak on guitar and vocals. They fucking tear shit up in a Discharge/Amebix/UK82 sort of way. Justin on bass and Devon killing it on drums doesn't hurt either. See them when you can.
We don't have anything booked until Jan.13th, with Hung Up at The Phoenix. It's gonna be a rager.
See you there .
Thank you and good night.
