For weeks and months we've been building up the DKT/MC5 thing and the bus rolled into Glasgow. Obviously being in THE GARAGE, this gave cause for concern from the git-go but the doors opened at 6.30pm and there were 3 supports. No idea what the first one was. Second was WE DO BAD MUSIC or something. Third was The Icarus Line and they should all be lined up against that very thing (whatever it is) and shot. All of which meant that the curfew, after which the place turns into a karaoke bar or whatever, was looming fast. The DKT/MC5 came on at 9.05 - 9.10 and might have just nudged an hour in total and they completely shredded. Highlights were "The Human Being Lawnmower" and "Sister Anne". The latter featuring the greatest faux brass band close ever witnessed. But there was no time for "Starship", or "Looking At You", or "The American Ruse" so I'm feeling a tad shortchanged here. Not by the band but by the organisation that runs this fucking venue. I would strongly advise anybody against ever attending a show there. It's a disco that fleeces the rock punters with overpriced drinks and dumbass security. It's a jobsworth's paradise alright and I'll not be dawning it's door again no matter who plays there. The band were burning so goddamn bright and then it was all over. With a sizeable bang rather than a whimper but imagine the glow from the radiation that a whole show would have mustered. Our London cousins certainly got the jump on us this time and that ol' chestnut of "ever get the feeling you've been cheated" is ringing in my ears. I hope Nottingham fares better tonight. Wodjagonnado... indeed...
