Well Well Well. With drummer Jon away on a rehabilitation trip to the Irish countryside, Delanee, Byrne, and Campbll were left to provide hardcore entertainment with the softcore sound of acoustic guitars. The venue wreaked of cheese, not to mention the stench of corn, as Nirvana's Polly, About a Girl and All Apologies were all performed upon stools, with steel strings and sound boxes. The solid body of Paul's electric guitar was screaming from it's chains in the high security messiah operation storage dungeon. It shut up and cried however when it heard it's master trying to sing backing vocals. Metronomes around Dublin also filed lawsuits against the band, as Under the Bridge was given the out of time treatment. The rehearsal room once again calls. Truth be told, at the best of times the sound was actually quite good. however a good sound is not what maes a good show, and when run in tandem with some of the most horrible sounds ever likely to come from the Temple Bar Music Centre, a very much mixed opinion is got of a band who definitely have potential, who know just that, but also know how bad they can sound. Glimmers of entertainment came during a back arsed rendition of Placebo's I Know, and the rousing buzzsaw climax of the band's own Symapthy was a sight to be seen, and gave the meagre audience something to cheer about. Promising, but the messiah operation are still shit. |
