-More bands last night...
We Ragazzi sounded a
lot like The Vue, with
that same sort of Stranglers
organ sound, and a good
dose of Crime & the City
Solution moments. They
were a surprise. Watchers
looked like and seemingly
wanted to sound like A
Certain Ratio, but they often
came off like Red Hot Chili
Peppers spliced with Devo.
The Eternals were pretty odd,
sounding like a weird dub
throw-back to "Downtown '81."
A lot of synth, organ, bass,
and peculiar vocals. Radio 4,
whose name, depending on
the day, might come from my
favorite PiL song, extended
the Gang of 4 sound that
they do so well, to include
the insistence of early
Clash records. They just
blew through their set.
They are a "need to see
them live" group. The DJ
played "Electroclash" and
"In the Beginning there was
Rhythm" -by-numbers stuff.
