Busy weekend!
Moving house this weekend (FINALLY!) which is great. Well being moved out will be great, the actual moving will be a total bitch. Really stressful and tiring. Sadly in the middle of moving I've got to attend one of the best gigs Reading's ever seen! I don't see how that's going to help me pack and move boxes on Sunday but there you go.
Saturday night's line-up at the Face bar is absolutely incredible. It's being called Girls R Loud because the bands are mainly made up of girls (with a few boys playing drums). Not that that matters, it's just 4 really good bands.
I saw Wet Dog supporting Pete and the Pirates on the last leg of their mini-tour together, and was really impressed. You'll know that if you read the review I wrote at the time. Great stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing them again, apparently Johnny from Pete and the Pirates is playing with them again, drummer is in Italy again.
All You Miss used to be called Caliber. I saw them... ooh, probably a couple of years ago now. I thought they were really good, rocked really hard and were very young! I haven't seen them since but the recordings I've heard on Tim Wolfe's Blast radio show sound like they've really moved on since then.
We Start Fires are a bunch of crazy girls from Darlington backed by a guy on drums who played a cracking set at Club Velocity a few months back. Great energy and charisma, they are as hillarious on-stage between songs as they were off it.
And all that is topped off by Yumiyumi. There can't be many Japanese bands that have played Reading as often as these girls. Japanese pop vocals, hard rocking riffs and a teddy bear playing an 808 giving the rhythms.
4 great bands 8:30pm at the Face bar, don't miss this one.
