psydoll Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Got there too late to see Clive Ravensby properly - caught a wee bit of the end of them but can't really judge them if I ain't seen them now can I? Sidca were unlike I expected but were good. I think I preferred the instrumental tracks or the ones with less vocals though. Not too sure whether they fit in with the music well enough for me. Heartily enjoyed them though.Opaque are a terrifying live prospect with the darkness, the two musicians, the masking of their faces and the 45 minute songs but after a slow start (for me anyways) it all started coming together in a weird sorta hypnotic way. Very tense and claustrophobic but enjoyable for that tension. More rocking out towards the end but still staying close to the heart of the original sound I was dull of hearing at the end but bright of heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couln't help but thinking of Merzbow wall of sound with guitars.Power to Dr Darkes for putting on these events two nights running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted April 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Yeah that went on for so long I started despairing that they'd forgotten the track or something and were just playing for time Indeed much credit is due to Drakes as there's not a lot of venues that would put on something like Opaque. Shame I missed Mountain Men Anonymous but was knackered from the Fighting Cougars gig the day before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
