This one is going to have be tagged as follows:
BIH were one of those bands who needed the drummer to thrash away like a bastard to supply the goods, whilst the other two dudes on guitar or keys needed only adjust a knob or a dial to whack up the effects as required. How unfair is that? I suppose it is good exercise to be crashing around on the drumkit, but he seemed extremely hot and I was a bit concerned.
As long as no other well meaning entity has already claimed the acronym, the CDR starts right here RIGHT NOW. Music world be warned, I've got my eye on you lot now.
Have you seen these being used in a cruel and vindictive way?
Anyway - despite it only being April, the sold-out Windmill was hot, stuffy and smelly, but, regardless, pleased to see BIH at the finish of the short UK leg of their tour, and the average height of the crowd was way too tall, indicating the degree of in-the-know interest in the event, at least according to my own crude theory on the matter.However - whether the tall dudes will be back next time is perhaps open to question, as the set somehow didn't quite deliver on its promise; no real problems, but somehow it was a slightly plodding affair that didn't quite have the lightness of touch of the recordings, and it didn't help that there was little communication from the band. Maintaining enthusiasm for the show was, ever so slightly, an effort, so I think I will just stick with the album in future.
