Just got back from the most menacing, melevalent, viceral and uplifting Rock and Roll gig I've been to since I don't know when. Do yourselves a favour and get your booties down to your nearest Amazing Snakeheads gig (a mere £8 in most towns) and have yourself a 60 minute blast. Not old enough to have attended early punk gigs, but I imagine the atmosphere must have been similar. Songs were spat out, chords where thrashed, feedback was revelled in, and all with the minimum of enbelishment (guitar, drums, bass, trem and Reverb/delay).
Definately a case of less is more. Dale couldn't have played more than a handful of chords while he (shirtless) prowled the audience abusing his guitar, and screaming out the heartfelt vocals. The guys a fuckin' force of nature. You know you always read about particular artists blathering on that if they didn't do what they do, they'd go nuts or be in prison. I get the impression that Dale is one of those guys. Fuckin' amazing performance. Will deffo be checking them out live again at the soonest opportunity.
