WGW - day 1: the bands

Following our pub jaunt and posing we arrived at the Spa Pavilion ready for some musical entertainment. There was a great DJ and then three really good bands.

ZEITGEIST ZERO
Zeitgeist Zero had been drafted in as emergency cover for Elusive who were unable to make the event. The singer was a regular attendee of WGW and was obviously highly delighted and also seemed slightly in awe of playing in front of the Whitby faithful. That said, they a were pretty good blending a good mix of electronic rock and Devilish Presley style death rock (n roll) even if the bass player did look totally bored and miserable. They had some great animations playing on a screen in the backgroud.

THE LAST DANCE
The Last Dance are WGW veterans having played here on numerous occasions. They had some good tunes and some good anecdotes. They were joined on stage at one point by Nathan of Abney Park who added some violin to the proceedings.

ABNEY PARK
Abney Park are purveyors of steam punk (apparently, whatever that means). They are, however, a bloody good live band. They had an amazing image (which perfectly fitted how I would see steam punk folk and artefacts). The tunes were great and, despite the technical problems every now and then, they put on a fantastic show. Not really sure how to describe the music but it was really good and I will definitely be getting some of their CDs.
