concert review

alright, since attending this 'alternative ball' thing is the only even quasi-adventure that i've done in the past week, I thought I'd give ya all a review of the bands there. and if you're thinking "i dont care cause i will never see these random english bands" oh well. ;)

kingskin - described themselves as 'grunge funk = funge' and i would have a hard time putting it better. first couple songs were nirvana-ish but then they moved into more funky beat type songs. good show. lots of enthusiasm. and their bass player had fuzzy tiger pants. that was good stuff.

no comply - hard core ska. female lead singer, screaming added by boys playing horns and guitar. also good show - however i dont know where the hell in england they were from, but i couldn't understand a word the girl said - not in the songs, but when she was just talking. also they had some technical difficulties which was no fun. definitely got the mosh pit going though

million dead - headliners from london. i would describe as heavy rock. a bit of screaming but not enough to annoy me. singer sounds a bit like the at the drive in lead singer. apparently on their way to being big or something. a little on the heavy side for me, but i thoroughly enjoyed the set

so all in all, i figure it was 8 pounds well spent. lord knows i need to get out to things like this more often. i was impressed at the small yet very enthusiastic crowd. the concert was at 'the venue' which is up on campus. probably only 100 people there or so, but a way better audience then we usually manage at the union at purdue. sucked to not know anybody as usual. but such is life. ok. thats all.
