Simian Mobile Disco

Pushing aside the throngs of nu-rave teenies having it large to warm up act The Whip, I felt that I may be getting a little to old to be up to this sort of lark on a school night.

All feelings of enfeeblement soon disappeared with the arrival of SMD onto the stage at the Astoria.

Serious face-melting massive beats, awesome lasers, and the two protagonists either side of their clunky DJ rig on stage proceed to blow the venue apart and slowly build it back up. It was great dirty electro stuff that had the crowds hands in the air and singing along with all the hooks.

Stand out tracks were a ten-minute version of It’s the beat , sing-a-long-atastic Hustler and topping it all a mental version of Tits and Acid.

Please note: I wasn’t watching them in prision as the picture might suggest! It was just taken from behind the lighting cage..
