Best Gig

January was a really strong month. But the highlight was Black Honey, Cabbage and Freak. Although my view of Cabbage has since changed, at the time, I thought they were the real deal. Black Honey, were excellent as always.

Best new band

At the time, it was Cabbage. But due to the issues later in the year, I’ve no plans to see them again.

I’d seen them before and enjoyed their performance. Tonight was no different.

I’d seen a video of one of their performance on Facebook and loved the intensity of it. So I took the opportunity to catch them as part of the Artrocker evenings at Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen.

In the flesh, they do have a great intensity. They’ve got a very heavy dark psych sound. I enjoyed their performance and would have preferred to have seem them in an even smaller venue with a big crowd.

Next up were the Asylums with a hyperactive lead singer. I’m not sure I actually liked their music. But I really enjoyed their performance. There’s no way these guys would short change an audience.

Asylums

Last up were CuT who seemed to have quiet a devoted following. Didn’t quiet work for me.
