betamax Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 first time Ive seen the Kitschy Cynics and twas cool, kinda like the eels new album but not as depressing, the first solo song with the acoustic mini guitar through an echo box was me fave....stripped down wierdness....and the one where the guy played the cello like a cello (with a stick thing?) sounded gorgeousThe Downroads were immense. But turning the guitar doon after the first song was soooooo wrong in my opinion, cos it was sounding fantasticly overblown and MC5 out front. Kinda tamed the whole sound when it went quiet. Still ace tunes, ace performance, much spazzed out frontman entertainment and some of the best guitaringness in the world.Didnt like King Looie at all. The tunnels would need to install bandits and quiz machines for bored punters if more bands like that play.Missed the last band cos it was me bedtime and Saturdays hangover was kicking in again. No doubt they were amazing cos thats what always happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Thank you for the kind comments, betamax...it was a very 'loose' Kitchen Cynics, with plenty to keep fans of mistakes happy!!!Southall Riot were indeed fine. It was past my bedtime too, but they pressed the right buttons, so sleep was put on hold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestooge Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Lenny is a fucking legend - Awesome drummer, great singer and guitarist too. Hes in The Thanes and The Wilderbeests too both of whom are cooler than cool.My last band used to cover a Wilderbeest song (remember that Zeenat "Trust In Me"). Lenny, Jim, Mike and Zeenat all featured in that band over its short existance and believe me they made the Cynics look tight as fuck.I love The Downroads and The Kitchen Cynics, they are easily the best in town.
