I don't like The Mighty Stars. They are a 'cool' retro 60s / 70s guitar pop band with modern hair and 'cool' clothes and catchy, infectious tunes. I'm one of those people who doesn't really like the Beatles. You know, with their trite lyrics and I-IV-V-I harmonic structure all that 'Love me do' bollocks. Apparently the room is packed, but since I find it so intolerable I have to sit in the bar.
Geisha begin their set with the 'unveiling' of epic new work 'sportsfister'. It is dark and broken, more like several disparate short bursts of noise, time-changes, epic riffing and hard rocking than a coherent whole. Still, it is a fantastic opening. The set proceeds as usual, enhanced this time by the projection of Vampyros Lesbos in the background. The screen becomes splattered with blood when bass player Steve's fingers give up the ghost, making quite a mess of his bass in the process. A broken string brings an end to another glorious evening.
