Went to see Ikara Cult last night for the first time in ages. Have loved them since Sink Venice and have always thought they were an amzing live band.

Except last night they weren't. Ok it didn't help that you couldn't here his vocals but there just didn't seem to be very much passion anymore. For a band like Ikara Cult the really means that they have stopped existing.

Worse was blaming the venue and the sound guy for the vocals. The support bands got there shit sorted out and sounded fine. MInd you it was blatantly obvious last night that he fancies himself quite a lot which always pisses me off.

Wasn't a complte write of though as I saw Yourcodenameis: Milo again who were excellant and Help her shes drowning(I think thats right) who, after a slow start showed some real promise.

So what bands who you once loved should really pull the plug now? Its very easy to slag a bnad you've never liked but can you pull apart a band who once meant something to you?
