Wed 18 Nov – 65daysofstatic, Three Trapped Tigers

I think that the one word that sums up this gig was BASS!

The venue is normally a gay club underneath Charing Cross station and it has an absolutely awesome PA system so the sound was generally fantastic (just don't mention the bar prices!).

This City were first up, slightly emoy rocky stuff, but also actually very good. Nice and bouncy, the audience didn't seem too taken with them though.

Three Trapped Tigers were a much more relevant support act doing very similar things to the headliners. They were very very good too. More electronicy than other bands doing similar stuff, which obviously I liked a lot. Their set got cut short which was a real shame. Shall keep an eye out for them in the future.

65daysofstatic were as good as they always are. Very tight despite the tempo changes and general weirdness. Unfortunately my legs gave up and I had to sit down through the second half of the set, which was when they did the more electronicy stuff. At least I didn't try to dance and thus fall over from an unexpected change in direction of the music!
