Werebitches and devils


On Friday, my friends Tukru and Louise had their first gig (for Tukru in 10 years) appropriately on International Women's Day. The band only formed a couple of weeks ago, so it was a bit nerve-wracking for them, but everything went fine. I tried to take some photos, but it was in the cellar of an old restaurant/bar, where you could touch the ceiling and there were no stage lights, so I didn't get anything much usable. On to the next one! I don't know if they'll come to regret being called Sean Bean Death Scene in time.
I also really wanted to see the headliners, Whitedevilwhitedevil. Three of the members, Adam and the Boast brothers, used to be in a local band called Let Our Enemies Beware who I really liked. They didn't disappoint. It was immense.
Here's the song I particularly liked of their set. I also like how the artwork has the lyrics, and the end line of the 2nd song is "Fuck what everyone says. I eat snakes." This kind of stuff is one of the few pleasures of spending time in Medway. I suppose the pure unrelenting grimness of the places produces intensity.
