We're surprised (in a good way!) that lots of people are turning up early to catch The Cathode Ray Syndrome. Being as the night is sunny and warm, we were expecting more gig goers to steer clear of the indoors tonight. But how could anyone resists the crashing, off-kilter tones of CRS. They make a racket but manage to maintain some sense of equilibrium as they jilt and jive under heavy chords.
Cherry But No Cake played for ABoF at The Pool Bar last year, so it's great having them back again. They are somewhere in-between Dinosaur Jr. and Shellac. Two of our favourites, and it seems everyone else is digging their sound too.
As Fighting Kites hit the stage, we are getting excited. The last time they played for us was back in April at ABoF's Club with Southern Records. their set is something akin to Tortoise but that's too general really... they are possibly better than that. Their sound is more precise, tight and their songs really stay with you. They play gorgeous post-rock tones with an underlying hint of math-inspired godness, but not too much, they are still very much themselves. Fighting Kites are truly brilliant.
And so that's it for another night. As The Good Ship shuts shop, we head home, satisfied and happy with another night of musical goodness...
