Sounds Like Violence
Live @ The Borderline, London, 03/11/07
I feel a bit sorry for Sounds Like Violence who had to play in London on a Sunday night to a quarter-full The Borderline. Halfway through their gig, to make matters worse, one "jolly" suit-wearing guy (who seemed to be one of the biggest SLV fans at the show) was thrown out for some drunken semi-heckling, which was quite unnecessary. Too keep up with his farce-like persona, the disturber-of-the-peace re-entered the gig towards the end, only to be chased and caught by another bouncer, thus another re-eviction swiftly followed (despite protests from the audience). SLV were great - loud and sharp, and the songs from their new album sound brilliant. Only problem with the show was that the singer didn't seem too happy to be there, his ironic and arrogant attitude was very off-putting and it made the show quite unpleasant to watch.
