The mystery band Nothin Less arrive, all six of them. We were expecting The Smashers but Chinese whispers circulate that their drummers arm was amputated by an electric fence trimmer in a freak accident while shaping a conifer shrubbery. Their irrevocable replacement’s style spans R&B to Rage Against The Machine. The hybrid rap, metal and pop sound. 6 diverse people and a lead vocalist with a belting voice. Really quite special and hard to imagine how The Smashers could have topped this had they been here.
The Drainpipes come perilously close to dissolving the stage with their acidic sound. The Clash and the Libertines rolled into one. The songs are a primitive punk set-up three odd chords at a high tempo. It’s as much about the attitude as the music. The Drainpipes are a great young band with trouble written all over them. A great future lies ahead if they don’t curb their tempers.
Major Major are the key performers tonight, blowing everyone away with their classy live act. Making friends isn’t a problem for the band who everyone likes. It’s a long set including old song ASBOs, EP tracks Newspapers And Magazines and The Hangman. Their short songs, (it doesn’t seem like they have any), are packed so full of excitement that although only two minutes and a half pass we feel we have been engrossed in a feature film. Despite awaiting their first release big things are being touted of Major Major for 2007.
Time to change the setting: It’s Colombia, the only all Portugese heavy metal band in the city and the anthems are out: Devils Booze, Rock'n'Fck'Roll and Conflict included. Walk by Pantera closes sludge metal proceedings on a tonking gig for the men-o-war. Half way across Europe to dazzle your head with metal that should be on the stage on the Krazy House rather than in this tiny bar. Lucky us!
Mood Food are the archetype instrumental legends. Turned up louder than anyone and psychedelicizing way beyond the realms of the western hemisphere, Isaac Tabor’s mandolin screeches and purrs like a wild beast of noise struggling free from its electric enclosure. The Mars Volta, to Hella and Battles with Tabor’s voice rattling like a wily Neil Young, Mood Food are attempting to break sound barriers. There is a drum and bass rap feel from Mike Perry’s double time drum shuffles and without a bass player it is Rob Lewis, with a plethora of effects peddles, who compensates with deep rumbling tones that form the almighty riffage with which Mood Food harness the basis of their power.
