Crashdiet @ The Underworld

After work I rushed off to North Greenwich to meet Toni. We headed off to Camdem and grabbed some Thai food en route to The Underworld.

There was a monster queue for this gig with a big SOLD OUT sign outside the venue. It was rammed inside and I am surprised they didn't try and upgrade it to a bigger venue like The Garage (as happened with Reckless Love)

So on to the proceedings............


PEEP SHOW
These Scottish rockers were back with a new line up and some kick ass songs. There were some strange effects put on Johnny Gunn's vocals which made them sound muse like at times which didn't seem to work too well for me. Not a bad band though and they seemed to be having great fun and were a good warm up for the crowd.






KING LIZARD
It's been a while since I've seen King Lizard but they were certainly back with a bang! They put on a great show, Alice and Niro bouncing around the stage like loons at times and Flash once again showing what a great front man he is with lots of audience interaction.







CRASHDIET
Crashdiet were a little disappointing. There was something that just seemed a little flat about the performance. Singer Simon Cruz just didn't seem to have a strong voice tonight (although maybe that was just a bad mix) and I think that's what did it. The songs were good though and the place was rocking and everyone was lapping it up.

Sadly no pics as we retired gracefully to the rear of the venue to save Toni's back get jostled about.
