23/12/11 underworld london- death in june.


worst bands of the year, teeth of the sea, dám, karma to burn, praxis bold, assign llamas, girl spit.
all of them were awful, teeth of the sea i have seen before, and i know i hate them,
especially because the guitarist has a pointy guitar, and when he starts playing it behind his head without any irony whatsoever, i know ill never be able to like them.
girl spit were ammusing, and werent nearly as cool or crazy as they thought they were. singer seemed like he might actually be mentally retarded. he also has a stupid tattoo on his face that only a mentally retarded person would think is cool.
praxis bold and assign llamas were a double dose of shite, but thankfully acid mothers temple were great that night, so i was at least able to go home feeling like i gained something from my evening, which is more than i can say for the night wasted seeing karma to burn. fucking posers. i want my money back, even though it was a charity gig.
and dám, the stupid band that suported unsane made me angry at the fact that whoever booking the gig felt it was fair to make us the paying customers who came to see unsane, have to put up with such utter wank, they in no way deserved to be playing a support slot for a touring band,

other dissapointing acts were wire and death in june, i actually left after about 40 mins of death in june, it started of ok, with drums and samples, but once the 12string came out it just becomes boring.maybe at the end he did some crazy industrial shit but i couldnt be bothered to wait and find out.
wire just seemed old. and boring, they didnt even play heartbeat, which has appropriate lyrics, "i feel old, i feel cold".
i did stick out there entire set but it was like watching your uncle trying to rock out.

best gigs, unsane, finally seen them, which was pleasing as they were the last band on my list of bands i was annoyed not to have seen yet.

dwarves london show was a laugh, birmingham i watched from a far as other people had the same kind of fun i had had the previous night.

melvins shows in cardiff and london were good, i felt like shit at germany one and even went a bought a pizza during there set.

non(boyd rice) was one of the most intense live shows i have ever seen, and is up there as one of the best performances i have ever seen.

secret chiefs 3 were everything i could have hoped they would be. amazing.

terje isungset "ice music" was one of the most unique things i have ever seen and i enjoyed it more than the local zine reviewer did judging by his review.

acid mothers temple was probly one of the 5 loudest most deafening gigs i have ever been too.
s.c.u.m too were loud in london but didnt seem so loud when i saw them in oxford.
