Gappy Tooth 4th Year Anniversary Night, May 2006

Life is a box of chocolates my mama always used to say. No not really, but on this evening the promoters, Richard and Rob, give us so much it’s almost hard to chew. First up is comical genius Rachel Pantechnican.

To give you a true account of the events is unfortunately not possible, ‘cause I was laughing my head off. However, it was not only laughs, it was also educational. Did you know that the missing six metres of the Bayeux tapestry, tells the story about how cats invaded the castle and that Willem the Conqueror did not actually get a crown, instead the archbishop put a cat on his head? No? I suppose you have never read the story about “Cheese grater leg-iron lion” either. Next time Rachel performs, go watch! This is a “one man comical adventure”.

As Rachel hands over to Harlette, we are all drying our tears. Their music is sometimes described as gothic grunge rock. I think that there is more power in the way the drums and bass motor around, than grunge normally provides. So if I was you, I would picture some supercharged grunge with a dash of prima Donna, I think you got it just about right. Always entertaining and they do give us a good gig. However, after observing these girls a couple of times, I know that they have considerably more umpf, than they give tonight.

Last band of the evening is Mary’s Garden. They’ve been around for some months in this constellation. Their set feels a bit like two sets in one. In one they build up elaborate sound environments, like dark movie music. The vocals make you think of the Cure, but not, if you know what I mean. These environments are a bit scary when you wander off into them. Then there is a part of the gig that feels like a singer song writer gig. I prefer the dark environments.

Thanks for the chocolates, the laughs and the music.
