Whitby mini-reviews April 2012
* In The Nursery - film music, dull dull dull.
* Ugly Buggs - Slightly indieish goth, slightly March Violets, slightly Suede, not at all bad. Apparently a spin-off of Gene Loves Jezebel, sigh, wish they'd stop doing this thing where they book the same people for both nights. ("Unless they both have Tim from Manuskript in", says David, and he is right.)
* The Spiritual Bat - "'The Spiritual Bat' is a new project, but it is an evolution from 'The Spiritual Bats' project" apparently. (David says one bat fell off.) Post-punk of the sort which seems very popular at the moment, quite like Christ vs. Warhol.
* Last July - \o/
* Dead Eyes Opened - new band, have not yet decided what they want to sound like. Probably OK when they settle on something though. Fuzzy.
* Gene Loves Jezebel - one of those classic famous 80s bands which they probably play at goth clubs all the time but you inexplicably don't know any of the songs from. Ought to be rebranded 'Gene Hates Jezebel' (or is that 'Jezebel Hates Gene'?).
* The Bellwether Syndicate - spurn MySpace in favour of Facebook (*throws up hands in despair*) but are apparently Yet Another Faith And The Muse Spin-Off.
* Die Laughing - reformed, were a delivery system for floaty female vocals 10 years ago.
* Partly Faithful - ex-Banshees we have been trying to see for a while.
* Stills - samey but inoffensive electronicy stuff.
(Hopefully none of these will cause
damerell to be violently sick.)
