Cowtown put on tonights show to launch their new single and put together a mighty fine show with a bonus raffle….
Sorry we missed Game_program (but it was a V. early start). Lord Adonis plays music that wouldn’t be out of place on a ‘Beverley Hill Cop’ soundtrack. Smooth 80’s synth sounds with Vocoder vocals and electronic handclaps…Intriguing…
City Yelps play straight up indie rock with a lot of energy and swagger. Met the drummer at the bar and for someone so small, she can certainly smack those drums.
That Fucking Tank were just great! An instrumental duo of Guitar and Drums, they impressed from the off. Who needs a bass when you can do that with a guitar. Mesmerising! I will be seeing them again for sure – don’t you miss them!
There was a raffle with some amazing prizes on offer including the full Cowtown back catalogue in tote bags, keyboards, logo sweatshirts, a fishing video…..I thought I’d won the muslim ‘come to prayer’ alarm clock but it was number 278, not my 288…..no hard feelings…..even though that one guy seemed to win everything….grrrrrrr
Cowtown play frantic, angular, indie pop songs that keep you on your toes. Short and sweet their set seemed to be over before it began. There was a bit of guitar trouble and the sound was much better with ‘That FT’s guitar (prehaps the old one could go in the next raffle?). They’re obviously a lovely bunch of people having a ball – let’s hope the single gets lots of airplay.
