UCA Bar, Canterbury
I'd put Anderida forward after hearing their collaboration album
Here Goes... with my poet friend Ameera. Their set was based on that, with Ameera's voice pre-recorded (she's in Maastricht now). Amazing guitar work from Marcus Weekes, and great overall jammed-out band sound. Chop Chop are an arty Brighton band with a Galician poet as frontman. Very hard to describe or pigeonhole, but they turned out to be seriously engaging. Oh Mama (also from Brighton) had played a short set at a Crash of Moons event some months ago and were keen to get them back. The etherial vocals and crunchy riffage make for a sound that reminds me a bit of Heron Oblivion (Meg Baird from Espers' recent project). We got a reasonable enough turnout, although with such a density of Crash gigs in recent weeks, it seems that people were becoming a bit apathetic and/or taking them for granted. Where was everyone? What else was going on on a Friday night in Canterbury that was better than three amazing, original live bands for a fiver??
Anyway, here are my mixes from before/between/after:
