Col returns, Eric visits, We rave!

So Friday 4th July saw Col, that wayward traveller, return to the fold, from Austria. Eric was over for a birthday and we all met up along with Niall, Mel and Neill and that-college-mate-of-Erics-whose-name-I-forget and my budo buddy and fellow festivaller Ruairi.

It was Andrews Lane theatre for a FREE gig featuring "giveamanakick" and "dudley corporation"(?). The first act were rockin enough, havin seen them before support Electric Eel Shock(japanese naked drumming cheezy metal)... Act one was about as good as you'll get with a frantic drummer, guitarist and gasmask mic.. pretty good stuff. We weren't arsed with the second act so hit thing mote for a few pints and chat. We lost Mel and Neil and Ruairi to other projects that didn't involve the acid techno I'd been uppin'.

So we made out way to Kennedy's for Doubtfull Guest off planet-mu records and BODENSTANDIG 2000 from Rephlex. WOW WOW WOW! Absolutely amazing music from first daz german technoists with their chunky phat goose-stepping beats played to the visuals of Bavarian teletext images of pixalated sex-lines. One guy practically had leaderhosen on him and they played some folk instruments too. It was a fitting welcome back for Col I thought.

Next up was Doutfull Guest. She flabergasted me at Bangface with her golden-haired headbangin acid techno and ripped it up again here with more of the same antics. She's a very gorgeous laptop producer and meself an Niall chatted to her friend upstairs singing her praises royally. We all agree she kicked ass undoubtedly.
