THE (TRASH) KI(T)DS ARE ALRIGHT

HAVIN RECENTLY TURNED 30 (SUNDAY MAY 17TH) I'VE COME TO REALISE THAT WITH THIS AGE AND BEING IN BANDS, MUSIC SCENES ECT , YOU GET TO A STAGE WHERE MOST OF YOUR VIEWS ARE CYNICAL ,YOU SIGH AND POUT YOU WAY THROUGH SOME YOUNGS KIDS ENTHUSIASTIC VIEWS ON THE ARTIC MONKEYS, THE HORRORS ECT. THEN YOU START THINKIN AM I JUST GETTING OLD OR IS SOME OF THIS MUSIC ACTUALLY SHIT .

HOWEVER ON FRIDAY I SAW TRASH KIT AND LET ME TELL YOU

*THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT*

BIT OF A BACKSTORY HERE, BLACKTIME PLAYED WITH THEM (TRASH KIT) A WHILE BACK AND PHEROMOANS I MISSED TRASH KITS PERFORMANCE DUE TO BEING JET LAGGED AND DRUNK (ROCK AND ROLL) BUT MOST OF THE PEEPS WHOS OPINION I RESPECT TOLD ME THEY WERE AWESOME .
SO DUE TO THIS FACT, AND MEETING SINGER/GUITARIST, RACHEL, AT THE TIMES NEW VIKING SHOW, WHO WAS A REALLY COOL NICE PERSON I DECIEDED TO CHECK IT OUT AT 93 FEET EAST FOR FREE , OK IT WAS MAINLEY THE FREE BIT THAT GOT ME THERE.

MAN THEY RULED!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S HARD TO PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT BUT IT ABSOLUTULY RULED.

SHORT SONGS FILLED WITH HINTS OF BEAUTIFUL HARMONIES AND RHYTHMS, THE DRUM BEATS ARE SOOO AWESOME THIS IS MAINLEY DUE TO A SLIGHTLY LEFT OF CENTRE SET UP INVIOLVING A DJEMBE DRUM THAT SPRINKLES ORDINARY BEATS WITH A BIT OF AFRICA (RIGHT UP MY STREET), APPRANTLY WHEN THEY PLAYED RYAN'S BAR THEY WERE BASSLESS NOW WITH A BASS IT JUST SEEMS TO SLINK AND SLIDE THROUGH THE DJEMBE GROOVES LIKE A SNAKE ON FRESH CUT GRASS.
*OK SORRY WENT A BIT WANKEY, POUNCEY METAPHORIC THERE *

I GUESS THE MAIN THING THAT STRUCK ME ABOUT IT WAS THE PURE INNOCENCE OF IT, IT’S A REALLY BIG THING IN MUSIC THESE DAYS TO SAY HOW YOU DIDN’T MEAN TO MAKE MUSIC, WRITE MUSIC BE IN A BAND, THE ACCIDENTAL BAND OR SOME CRAP, BUT YOU GENUINLY GET THE FEELING THAT THESE TRASH KITTERS JUST ENJOY WRITING SONGS AND PERFORMING, I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE SHOUT OUT TO THE PHILIPINO’S I THINK IT WAS MID WAY THROUGH THE SET.

I HOPE THIS DUMB DRIBBLE WRITE UP OF THIS GIG CONVINCES YOU TOO CHECK IT OUT AND IF NOT
YOU’RE JUST AN OLD CYNICAL CUNT.
PEACE!!!!
