imp: Joe Gideon & The Shark + Tupelo Town Assembly + Amy Sawers @ The Tunnels

He does get a rather lovely sound eh.

It'll be something to do with all those pedals he doesn't have...

totally, although a good sound CAN be aquired with pedals, i prefer the good old approach of plugging guitar into amp and doing it that way, i mean, it's how it should be done.

my bass into my amp is one of the best sounds i have ever heard.

the album is just awesome....

I loved Kathy Ray at the gig and love it just as much on record.

And Anything You Love That Much.... is just amazing.

Hope they come back.

Agreed. Kathy Ray was superb. I've not yet got that on youtube..maybe tomorrow. But here's some footage "Johan was a Painter and an Arsonist".

Really really excellent gig all round. I missed Amy Sawers (shall def. try my best to catch you next time) Tupelo Town Assembly were really good. BUT - JG & the Shark were just fookin' amazing. Best gig for ages. I liked Joe's vocal delivery - it reminded me of Hugh Cornwell's style. He kind of speaks some of the lyrics in a laconic drawl and I really liked the dark humour within the some of the songs. The lyrics were crystal clear (top marks mr soundman) and their narrative-driven style drew me into the songs. For a 2-piece they generated a tremendous sound. Pretty hypnotic / powerful stuff. And the drumming/percussion was a real joy to watch, as was the tinkering of looping techniques and the keys etc etc..

Easily the best 6.00 i've spent in ages.. IMP pull of another top gig.
