Grinning like a LSD spiked Granny

Not content with bopping around like a demented loon at the Forum in Tunbridge Wells recently when I got to see Misty's Big Adventure for the first time a few weeks ago, the opportunity arose to repeat the experience on Wednesay at the Purple Turtle in Camden. Very neat venue - go there for the cyber goth art on the walls alone if need be.

Event was part of the Glasswerks gig-fest and for £6 there was a full support bill, and I was very taken with the fantastically retro Hypo-Psycho (who are back there 10th November) - a good sort of two-tone/Green Day sound and have tremendous stage presence. And very cool two-tone shoes. I'll be back there for the 10th I reckon. Next up was a seriously whacked-out Glumrock group Second Sun whose lead singer was awesomely vocally talented and the bloke that heckled him may have wished that the song next performed hadn't included the lines "revenge - I'll have my revenge". Nice one smiler.

And then MBA. Slight soundhitches aside, another truly slick set and yay I got to see Erotic Volvo without the suit and make-up before he went on stage. He looks quite normal at that point. More leaping around ensued, truly fun time had by all and to the chap I was twirling with - sorry that I trod on you foot, hope you enjoyed your jam session with The Composers. More Mistys, I want more! Who needs drugs when you can see a bloke in a begloved suit.

Lifting a quote from Glasswerks home page to sum it up:

"MBA are a band that entertain on more than a style level, a band i dare you to see and not leave grinning like a LSD spiked Granny at a Rod Stewart stadium show"

Must away to Brighton.
