Lads, I saw the most mental band of all time last night. They're called The Nippons, they're from Downthecountrysomewhere, and they are seriously deranged. Brilliant stuff. THey were followed by two utterly bland cabbage acts (with female singers both, leading me and my good friend to pontificate on the lack of great women in rock. There really are very few. Why? THere are loads in country, for instance).
But The Nippons - fuckin legends. THeir bass player accidently cut his head open. He wrapped a rtowel around his head and played like Terry Butcher for England in '89 (he alluded to this himself). They had a keyboard player on his kees throwing ridiculous shapes. One of the guitarists was scraping his fretboard on the mic. THere were six of them, and they started the set with an elaborate routine where one at a time the band came onstage from the crowd and built up around a little riff.
I had a smile for the whole gig - the sound was a bit Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, a bit Dillinger Escape Plan, and a bit catchy guitar pop. They were cool. They even heckled the useless boring cunts who headlined.
