I decided to go to this gig instead of Black Lips at Audio and i actually think i made the right decision. Ever since i saw the video for "The Rat" by this band on MTV2's "120 minutes" programme one stoned early weekday morning, ive never got bored of it. I think that song has managed to stop this band slipping into obscurity and means they can still sell 250 tickets for gigs, and as annoying as the shouts to "PLAY THE RAT" every 5 minutes by pissed up tossers must be, they can hardly be surprised as it is far better than any song they have ever written. That said however, they do have some other great songs in a more distorted, lo-fi indie vein. As a band i find them extremely hit and miss, and this was evident in the gig. Some songs had you totally fixated while the next had you thinking about whether you should get a Grubbs burger after the show or not. To be fair though, this is probably just my personal taste in music and as a gig i couldnt really fault it. Annoyingly, ive never really listened to the newest album which most of the material was obviously from, so im gunna lose points for not name dropping which album tracks were good or not but i dont really care 'cos its not as if anyone ever fuckin reads this thing is it....
PLAY THE RAT!!!?!?!
