The gig drought was partially nouriched last night, when a trip into downtown

Cardiff was in order after the Beth ans Huw show. The Future of the Left session

was really good - catch them at the 100 club London on Jan 30th and Clwb Cardiff

on Feb 10th. Last night it was Blood Brothers who rocked it. Theirs is a kind of

psychedelic-emotional rollercoaster of noise, and it sounded brilliant. I'd

never seen them before, it was well good. And downtairs in Clwb it was Kruger

magazines' night with the electro-b boy Evils, the disturbing and flinching Gin

Drinker, and the new band from former Martini Henry Rifles members, Space in the

50's. New songs sound sharp, focused and very promising.

Right, got another driving lesson now!
