World Goth Day @ The Devonshire Arms

Today was World Goth Day. To celebrate Toni and I went to Camden. We did of course, make some sort of effort for the occasion.



We started off with a yummy meal in our favourite restaurant Qing (of vegetarian shock horror fame). Suitably stuffed we then headed to The Devonshire Arms for the Dominion Magazine organised event for World Goth Day with Dutch Order, Devilish Presley and Rhombus playing.





Whilst we enjoyed a nice drink we watched various members of Rhombus getting incredibly grumpy with the way the set up of the gig was going and the fact that everything was running behind schedule.


DUTCH ORDER
Another feisty set from Dutch Order with their post punk style getting everyone warmed up and dancing about.

DEVILISH PRESLEY
This was an interesting set for Devilish Presley tonight. Not only was the majority of the set list decided by the fans through a Facebook poll but they were playing tonight with no drums or backing, just Jackie and Johnny on vocals with Johnny providing guitar. It was a great set nonetheless and DP never disappoint and always put on a fantastic show. I was particularly happy as they did You Can't Spell Rock N Roll.

RHOMBUS & FRIENDS
Despite the trials and tribulations of the pre-gig set up Rhombus hit the stage in style and then proceeded to have all sorts of technical difficulties. You couldn't help but feel their pain. Simon Satori (from Rome Burns) came on stage and did a cover of Non-Specific Ghost Story and Shove It Up Sideways. Sadly we had to leave before the rest of the guests had performed but what we saw was a great set despite the technical hitches.

All in all it was a really good event, a little bit different but a jolly good night out!
