The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Ikara Colt, & The Beatings

December 03, 2002

All three were the best I'd ever seen them! The Beatings were so at ease on stage, really making the proper rock star attitude to accompany their already brilliantly rough live sound. I was able to fully enjoy Ikara Colt this time around (after the sauna that was the 100 Club last time I'd seen them), and The EMBLD played like rock gods stuck in a dememented fairy-tale land - complete with Santa suit... This was, of course, 'No Name' Night at the PlayLouder @ the ICA festival.
