SACRED MOTHER TONGUE, SPITTING BLOOD, IDIOM Live At The Gaff 16.04.09 (Gig Review)

SACRED MOTHER TONGUE

SPITTING BLOOD

IDIOM


16.04.09 The Gaff, Holloway Road


IDIOM

Sanguine were due to open tonight but their van broke down.Basically Idiom want to be RATM and do quite well at it.Lots of bouncing up and down on stage and plenty of happy faces in the crowd.


SPITTING BLOOD

Not surprising that the Gaff packed out when these guys hit the stage, this was billed as their last show (NOooooooooooooooooo!!!!!).As always with jamies mob its full on metal with powerhouse drumming, pounding bass and Daves amazing scream until your head explodes vocals and course some of the best shredding you will hear.


Down side of the gig (apart from the obvious) was the idiots moshing, you know its great to see when your on stage and if you are part of the pit then thats fine too, but they dont care about the people around them, so while they are slamming into each other they are hitting people who just want to watch and enjoy themselves.So on behalf of the 20 or so people who moved away from watching the band i would like to say "Thank you twats!".

Should have headlined guys!


SACRED MOTHER TONGUE

The blurb about this band states "The most convincing british metal band to emerge in a long time", obviously written by someone who is deaf.This lot should have been the opening act, for a start they had 6 fans down the front and were completley average.Dont get me wrong they have good musicians in the band and the vocalist has a nice voice, but the music is just lifeless and dull.
