audience reviews
matt
Havent heard something so strange/unusual in a while! At first I was a bit thrown off balance by the half psychedelic / half punky intertwined guitar phrases,but after a song or two, the whole chemistry really crept up on me like a drug (once I stopped trying to compare them to other stuff I am used to hear). They certainly did put on a great show !

Agaskodo are already at their experimental stage every rock band goes through, they're doing it tongue in cheek and without having needed to release the usual sludgy harmonic two and a half chords material currently sold for a fiver at music stores. They're fun to watch and they'll be even more fun once they will include a fourth (human) member in charge of the rhythmic section. Also Hiroe needs a larger stage! Fair play to the audience (obviously there for Siouxie, a few of them for her legs) who warmed up to the performance as Agaskodo went through their set.

Hiroe Takei is SUCH a poser... but i loved it :D Her tambourine-ing was pure theatre, the guys costumes - hilarious (as per usual) and the sound truly epic!
Noam

Caroline Lake

Darryl Biggs

Did not know how to take this lot as they started setting up their gear but all in all they were pretty good unique sound i never heard before,guitarists were great and a sexy minx of a Japanese singer ,the set did seem to sound like one extended track though not surprised it took 6 weeks to get here especially wearing those dodgey shorts i certainly would not pull up on the motorway to pick them up but hey the girl now i would.

This under-rehearsed mishmash of turgid guitar solos and caterwauling vocals should never have been allowed to leave Hungary. Nice legs, shame about the music.
