Plinth at Bar Academy, Birmingham

Allowing for the fact that three members of the band are good friends of mine and two of them flatmates to boot, given that sort inevitable bias in my reaction to their first gig, I have to say that Plinth were quite frankly fucking brilliant. Well done chaps.

Photos were taken.

Andy/Zoop on guitar, Andy G on primal power vocals, Phil on drums

A rare full colour gig photo.

Look at all 17 and weep.

Fave piece of feedback so far (from mild-mannered colleague): “For the first few songs you were just playing with yourselves but in the last two you ejaculated all over the room.” Lovely image.

Next gig on the 25th when they’ll be headlining. Bring it on!

Photo were okay in a functional good-time post-Wire eyeliner kinda way. Shocked Elevator Family I was prepared to like until they butchered, and I mean fucking killed stone dead, a great Magnetic Fields song, at which stage I decided they sucked balls.

    Which Magnetic Fields song was it? I’ve killed a few stone dead myself but only ever in the privacy of my home, I’m yet to inflict such a thing on anyone else.

    I really like that second photo where andy zoop has no head but andy g has a head but no body, the desaturated sepia look to it really suits the tone of the music too. They were splendid though, and I have to say that andy zoop is a guitar god.

    Dave: it was Let’s Pretend We’re Bunny Rabbits, and it hurt.
