Melt Banana in Ramsgate

Saturday 2nd November 2019
Ramsgate Music Hall

Support from Joshua Blackmore (who seem like a 2019 Bill Bruford, composing complex music for drums and synths, and putting together a band to play it). Melt Banana punkier than expected. I can vaguely remember hearing John Peel play them in the early 90's, but more the name than the music. It took a while to get used to the fact the drums and bass were prerecorded (just the two core members on vocals and guitar this tour). But singer Yasuko's live triggering of the drum breaks, and general energy, made up for this. Pretty unrelenting, but I got into it. A lot of people there got really into it (a moshpit emerged for a couple of songs).
