One of Mike Patton's myriad bands.

Anyway, I'm to see them tomorrow - has anyone her seen them - most likely in the US? - what can I expect?

I've never seen any of Patton's bands - would you believe - so I'm very intrigued.

Well, lets hope it doesn't shrink to Action Man size in the wash.

Excellent!

I'm very short-haired, skinny, tall and will be wearing a 'Melt-Banana' tshirt.
I'll be with two others, my gf. and my mate from work.
Brown drink of choice will be decided upon whimsically.

Shame you couldn't make it h.

A mate of mine is a huge fan of the Melvins,
he's made me copies of stuff, but I've been really lazy about listening...

Tomorrow one of us can header a post "a funny thing happened on the way to the forum.", or summat.

It's a piece of piss to find. Just go out of Kentish Town tube station and turn right. It's on the other side of the road about 2 mins up. Cool venue too. Seen some good gigs there, but I'm gonna miss this one.. Waaaaaaahhh....

Tomahawk rules. I'm totally fucking jealous.

I have a wicked boot of a Tomahawk show from last year and their first CD. I almost bought Mit Gas last week, but cash was on short supply and (just like everything else on Ipecac) it was outrageously expensive. Gonna have to wait until payday.

We want a full show report with setlists! That means keeping a CLEAR HEAD which means NO DRINKING. Serves ya right for me and h not getting to see 'em

Are you saying that things got out of control at a Patton-related show?

NAWWW!!

So are you gonna share this tale or what?

...Out here in space, I'm looking down on you...

A strange venue, I'd not been there before.
it's obviously an old theatre with very steep balconies and as such we were lookingright down on the bands. I got a birds eye view of all the slamming and glass throwing.

It seemed more out of fun than aggression - but it's hard to throw a plastic glass and make it's parabola look "angry" I suppose - too lightweight... Unlike "The Melvins".
Fucking 'ell - what a noise for a three piece. Great stuff, and I'll be looking for studio stuff now.

I couldn't quite get my head round Tomahawk.
I've not heard them before - and it all sounded like epic starts and stops, with those huge, sudden thrashes - Mike Patton raging about. It was all too much to take in and not very 'catchy'.
I should have hunted out some studio stuff first.

EKH, I kept a look out for you. They separated out us upstairs from you downstairs folks though. It was a capacity crowd too, looking at it.

PS: ever wondered what people in the reserved seats do? They sit there texting on their expensive phones and chatting - they barely glanced at the bands.
Tossers.

ah, I did have a look around for you, John, but seeing as you were in the cheep seats...

Heres a short impartial review (as I'm new to both bands)

There were four bands playing at the Forum (shitty old theatre sweatbox in a horrible, horrible part of Northern Central London), but we missed the first act.

The second band, Kaara (?) came on as we got to the bar, initially playing a mad rush of noise (like Cardiacs or Zappa) then going into a showman version of 'Morphine', only with a Hammond organ instead of a sax. Great 3-peice action!

One track was a DAT playing the song, complete with vocals, which the singer/keyboard player gestured into the mic with his lips tightly shut. An excellent new band who I'd definatly try and see again.

Towards the end of thier set a bunch of meatheaded townies started chucking empty plastic pint glasses at the singer, until the big angry bouncer came out and looked at them.

Half an hour later, on came the melvins in dresses. Top stuff, athough I'm not familier with their back catalogue. Apparently they played most of their stuff in medley form which suited it. I had a good old mosh until suddenly the meatheads joined in and it got very New York c.1985. Way to violent, some cunt with a braclet tore the skin off my back!

So I retired to the bar, from where I watche Tomahawk. Or rather, from where I watched the first half of their set. We left then, because they were shit.

Apart from that, it was just meatheads chucking plastic pint things at Mike Patton over and over again. Why the fuck did these people pay £15 to get in if they were just going to try and fuck it up?
