Band History:
Dont know what it is about these guys, but there's something. I saw them at the first gig they played at the Hotel California, and i really dont think i have ever seen anything like it. The performance, the music, the image. Everything just seemed to flow. They have what you would call 'an edge' over any other band in the wirral, quite possibly the whole of England. When they opened with their first song, 'Can You Dig It' I got the goose pimples on the back of my neck. It's like Hip Hop mixed with Dance mixed with Rock. With some pretty nifty white mans rapping, I was immediately hooked. With a certain venom in his tongue, James Jones delivered the vocals reminiscant of Run DMC. One verse seemed to stick out; "All of the time, got to keep it clean, you get hooked, get f***ed by the big machine. And all they gotta do to keep a hold of you. Is sell you a story of the chosen few. I really liked what i had heard so far, and when the next song came in, which was like german techno, filled with words about dirty sex and the affection involved, I really got the sense that there was something different about this band. It was only when the next song came on, I knew I had to get home and check these guys out. Judas to the Masses, kind of a twisted love story about the end of a relationship, or is it? I asked James at the end what that song was about, and who was the Judas he was reffering to, he simply smiled and whispered in my ear,"Theres a judas in all of us Jen" This song was one of the highlights for me, the bongos and ska guitar and catchy bass line just seemed to radiate harmony, mixed with a kind of Brian Ferry vocal line, I didn't think it could get any better.....until....I Dont Know, This song had people scared, and i mean it. It starts off with a sample of someone saying, personal note,
"When I was a kid my mother told me not to look into the sun, so once when i was six i did". What then followed was an exhillerating blend of Techno drums, bass and guitar, delivered with lyrics and melody that was so intrusive on you, you couldn't help but look in awe at these boys play. During this song the vibrations off the stage made a pint of lager fall from its table and smash on the floor. This was the sign, the sign that these boys had arrived, and where seriously gonna throw into question your average guitar band, that are ten a penny these days. It was then when they finished with a track called Livin Again - sort of a happy hardcore dance track, mixed with fast melodies and reverberant synths, Each band member was introduced and gave a big OY OY on every turn. The buzz from the audience and the atmosphere in the place was second to none, I haven't seen a local band generate this much energy in all my years of journalism. You really need to stay tuned to follow these guys. I already hear a liverpool label are interested, hardly suprising. I have my ticket for the next gig and im lookin forward to see how these guys follow up the last show.
