The Suffrajets
I went out to see the The Suffrajets play at the Liverpool Barfly last night. I would like to point out that I am getting my bands in before the start of term.
The first band up was a pleasant shouting girl band. Unfortunately I can't remember their name, but I liked their sound. A bit like L7. At some stage they did a slow
power ballard type of song. I have nothing against a singer singing a power ballard, as long as the rest of the people in the band cut their head off with a samuri sword and
hang it in the venue with sign hanging on their neck "power ballards suck". I did enjoy the set.
That is the great thing about blogging. I can stand at the back of the venue, hidding
in the drunken blogging backround. Then the next day, I can unleash the review. I publically talk behind people's back. The power of technology-- it enhances all the best parts of my personality.
The next band was a girl rock/punk band. I enjoyed the set. When the singer asked the
audience to move forward and then they did. She had a London accent, probably resulting from living in London. The weird thing was that I believe that this band was the Suffrajets, but there was one more band to go. This is a new way to gig, put
the headliners on second.
Of course I could be wrong and the next band were The Suffrajets. What do I know, I am just a humble blogger not a journalist. Most of the last band were men-- this suggests
to me that the second band were The Suffrajets not the third band. Anyway I liked the third band the least. The audience thinned out as well.
