Trudi makes some good points, I feel.

Actually, all reviews should be like that, shouldn't they?

Honestly, this was the best gig I've ever been to. Great stuff.
Isn't it ironic that not many people know the meaning of the word esoteric?

Late posting, but I'm only just back on the work computer. :wink:
Great night I had - bloody fantastic 8)
A big "Cheers! " to everyone we met, esp. Luke and Ean for keeping the missus and me in conversation and beer in the pub beforehand. And Kazza for providing our after-gig comapny, hope you got home alright.
Even managed to say hello to the legendary Mr Reynolds (albeit before walking straight off to to the bogs cos some things just won't wait).
And a HUGE roar of appreciation to the band themselves for an awesome show. Can't wait for the next album...

Well - first post so I'm just gonna come out and say:

What a fookin' fanTAStic gig - probably one of the best I've been to. Tho I can't work out if I enjoyed it more than the SG5 gig at the Astoria (on Gingers b-day)....they're in competition for the top slot...

The whole evening was amazing - and I'm more than impressed with the sound, consistancy and tightness of the Sonic Circus - as the man himself said: "This is a fucking good band isn't it?!). Couldn't agree more..!

And they played for 2 1/4 hours...a good set by anyone's standards. So good in fact that I almost missed my train home!

But well done on that set. So many times (Wildhearts included) a band just comes on and...plays their songs....then goes! Nothing wrong with that - that's what is supposed to happen. But on wednesday they fleshed the night out so much more....adding a sonicshake here....and cover there...and not forgetting the "jams" they had throughout the night.

Well done. And I hope we hear more from Ginger and the Sonic Circus. Maybe finally Ginger has found the band that he always wanted to be in. God knows he's finally written the album he always wanted to write..(but never knew it!)

I didn't think the London gig was too loud (but then again I'm a deaf oul' bastard these days), but some of the mixing was a bit, um, wayward - the ladies' microphones being louder than Ginger's for a couple of the songs, for example.

But that minor gripe aside, I thought it was an excellent gig. Cracking set list, and a band that seems to have become very tight very quickly - Jon Poole especially seems to be revelling in being Ginger's nutter-in-chief onstage, and I can't remember a single mistake.

Also, isn't it amazing how some songs grow on you once you've hear 'em live a couple of times? I didn't like My Friend The Enemy at all when I heard it on VDC, but now I've heard it as nature intended, I can't stop listening to the damn thing.

Despite a lot going wrong (leaving gig tickets in a car glove box far far away) I had a great night.
The band are so tight and they all looked like they were having a good time. There were a few songs on the album I hadn't heard all they way through so to hear them live first was great.
Hearing Sonic Shake was amazing and it's made me pick BLM back up again. It's been in my car stereo since the gig.
All worth missing our train home for :)
