Gig Review
Thursday 16th December
White Trash Ambition up first. The other two bands were youngsters who brought all their friends from college. This left WTA with a nearly non-existant crowd as most of the punters sat in the bar. I 'assumed the postion', and about a dozen other people stood at the back. Needless to say, there wasn't much of an atmosphere, but WTA still played a good set - their fuzzy, surging and bouncy take on rock (which sounds a little American to me) is growing on me.
Rating: 8/10
You know what Small Town Paranoia want - in 5 years time they aim to be shouting "Hello Wembley" to 10,000 screaming kids. Stadium rock. It's competant but oh so obvious. I did warm to them a touch as the set progressed as they were putting so much into it, but the music still left me cold.
Rating: 3/10
The Croft was rammed by the time Kings of Bohemia took to the stage. They sounded like they were trapped in the late 70s - early Talking Heads meet late Buzzcocks. Pleasane enough but no edge. I left early to catch up on my sleep.
