Something to do tonight .....

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Go to the Horn, see a band called Flak, they are on the malcolm in the middle soundtrack.

They include Richie from Abdoujaparov and Chas from Chas'n'daves son, I don't know what they sound like but they get good reviews.

On about 9, I will be trying to get there myself (will have to pull a fast one from work). If you see richie tell him Colin sent you!

Managed to pull a fast one from work (I always manage to do that) With the amazing fact that all the trains were on time I got to the Horn about 9.20.

Very Very Very good band, billed as a hip-hoppy kind of band, there is some scratching in there and beats but the singing was more Rage against the machine like, the nearest I could think was kind of Public Enemy/Dog Eat Dog that kind of stuff with a bit of RATM although that maybe doing them a diservice. What am I a NME writer?!?!?!

 

Anyway spoke to richie afterwards and they have some record deals in the pipeline but just need to get out of thier current record deal.

So to conclude - go and see them, they were a breath of fresh air from the usual regurgitated indie tripe you usually get at these sorts of venues. Although Richies about to head off to do a 2 month Austrailan Abdoujaparov tour so you may have to wait a bit!

Yeah, thought they were pretty good as well. Very tight and, like you say, something a bit different. Not really my cup of tea but I'm sure they'll do well.
