An Evening's Music at the Consitution

Post 6.
So, everything was champion on Friday. Big love goes to Rainey and the Rollcall people for setting it up and keeping us entertained. More props go out to the outfits on the bill, Skylark, QuickBrownFox and Cherry But No Cake for sterling shows and general decentness. Especially Skylark who gave me my cable back after lending them it. Solidarity amongst musicians and cable-owners, the love runs deep.

Best summed up by Russell, Yokozuna's tub thumper, on the Myspace blog.

"Rip this joint peeps are onto something good and no mistake. Venue was just the right size, small enough that it made it feel really busy but not so small that it felt cramped and uncomfortable. Was a bit of a sweat box when we were playing but it was a lot of fun.

QUICKBROWNFOX, were an excellent two piece boy/girl combo. Thought they were a bit more BIKINI KILL than WHITE STRIPES (thankfully) not so much scuzzy garage as rocking old school proper underground indie rock. Top notch set, nice peeps as well.

SKYLARK! tremendocore or joycore?, shouty intenso stuff. Three piece techy hardcore stuff that had shades of BLOOD BROTHERS, BOTCH etc fucking loved it. nice shorts as well : )

CHERRY BUT NO CAKE, no shit they brought the rock properly and no mistake. Seriously bad ass, UNWOUND, SUPERCHUNK style shouty tremendousness. All three bands were outstanding but purely for the epic joy of PENIS BUTTER these guys were my band of the night.

Seriously one of the best shows i've been at in London, outrageous amounts of fun and I honestly would love to play with each and every one of the bands again."
