30/01/2005: "Unconventional"
An unconventional night at the Mean Fiddler on Saturday, with Breed 77 and Apocalyptica. The former combined flamenco beats with heavy metal into something I had never seen before. Apparently they hate Radio1 because Radio1 claims they've gone soft and jazz. Few people seemed to like Radio1 that evening anyway. And then came Finnish Apocalyptica, bringing cellos to metal. The mix of audience was interesting, from boring middle class hip lovers to the metal crowd I usually hang out with, but with relatively few kids (obviously, as it's not an easy listen). Far too many people had come with the sole idea of taking pix (please exclude me from the equation) and not to enjoy themselves. The mosh pit brutes were slightly confused for a while, but still managed to thrash about a couple times.
After a remake of My Chemical Romance & Taking Back Sunday on Friday at the Brixton Academy, this was breath of fresh air. But I'll be going to Rammstein later this week, wanted to experience it once at least.
