The
Detroit Cobras plus Mudlow
@ The Old Market, Hove
|
It was a good turn out at the Old Market for another
Melting Vinyl gig that promised a good rockin' time.
The opening act, Mudlow, lived up to and exceeded this expectation,
with thrusting screaming sax, hollering harmonica, dirty guitars
and sleazy howling vocals.
 Whilst
they did induce a lot of crazy moving and rock twisting in those
gathered at the stage, and I include myself in this group, I
felt their performance, in comparison to Mudlow, was a little
lacklustre. . |

They played an awesome set of sultry blues rock
in a a slightly beefheart-esque style, and had the crowd by the
scruff of their necks unable to resist a good swing of the hips.
It's the kind of music that makes you want to bark like a dog, and
I am certainly one bitch who will definitely be purchasing their
album post haste.
Onto the headliners, The Detroit Cobras. Again,
more full on rockin' to be had but slightly more upbeat this time.
The lead singer lived up to her rock chick image by permanently
puffing on cigarettes in between husky vocal sequences - a woman
after my own heart, I'm sure I smoked more than I normally would
watching that gig!
Anyway, whilst they did induce a lot of crazy moving and rock twisting
in those gathered at the stage, and I include myself in this group,
I felt their performance, in comparison to Mudlow, was a little
lacklustre.
They seemed distinctly unimpressed with the whole affair, but still
got a good response. Yet it wasn't quite the snakebite I was hoping
for.
