goodThe 90+ minute gig started with a sheet at the front of the stage showing the band members silhouettes. The intro music started and guitarist Ace, bassist Cass, drummer Mark and the great shaven headed vocalist Skin (real name is apparently Deborah Dyer) went straight for the throat of the crowd with Yes It's Fucking Political and Charlie Big Potato from the old days before heading into the new material.
About half the songs played were from the new album showing it to be worthy enough to stand side by side with the other 3 which had songs shared out fairly evenly between them.
Of course the classics got the biggest response such as I Can Dream, Weak, Brazen and Twisted (Everyday Hurts) but saying that new song Tear The Place Up is pretty wild and catchy enough to be an instant hit.
As usual Skin was her wild self (when not singling the sweet songs) and even went for a walk into the crowd, along the top of them that is while being held up by the excited bunch of rockers. For the encores she went the usual route of just crowd surfing while continuing to put in a good vocal performance.
I would have liked an extra 30 minutes to hear the rest of their first album ‘Paranoid and Sunburnt’ but what we got was good enough and I can only hope they continue on for another album and tour.
