Actually, screw that - let's break things up a little and give Bullet Union their crack at making our butts move sans cranial control. Remarkably for a band that are 50 per cent ex-Dead Inside, they manage it perfectly. Sure, you can still throw your body into the guy next to you in most mosh-tastic fashion, but boy, do these guys have tunes to boot. If they let themselves crawl out of the underground they'll be 2005's cover stars.
Q And Not U should already be cover stars - they've the moves and tunes to eclipse a skipload of punk-funkers (sorry, the certified 'NME-approved' classification sticks) with the lifespan of a mayfly, yet who still manage to creep in on their cred'. Their new record is - to paraphrase a good friend of mine - gay disco, and tonight's performance does suggest that the trio have gone down a more dance-focused route, the difficult, stuttering sounds of their last release, 'Different Damage', resigned to history. It's a brave move, and one that will only be proved successful or shite in the longterm. However, for one night only, Q And Not U own us. Wholly. They had their party, brought their own cake and scoffed it.
Q And Not U
and with q ("fugazi on mdma" will be the cliche in no time at all) was anyone else slighty mystified by the ardent desire of some to quasi-mosh? i mean, REALLY. i came to shake it.
and only 2 beepbeepers. no Hooray for Humans.
to be expected, given its reliance on 2 part geetar interplay and solid rhythm sectioning.
Q And Not U
and bullet union only have one member of dead inside.
Re: Q And Not U
Paul.
And the bassist whose name I forget who also plays in Comet Gain (sorry, I am rubbish with names).
Two.
Q And Not U
what did you think of the first band?
Re: Q And Not U
Not enough to form a solid opinion beyond that.
