Review of Giant Tank's show at CCA with V/VM.

As any arts centre goer knows, you get a fair amount on poncey pretentious cunts at these gigs.Indeed old men with white pony tails were discussing some highbrow matter in the main hallway and the bar was full of peeps talkign about how kid 606 was playing in edinburgh. No matter, because the bar served hoegaarden, so i charged my glass and got half cut before joining the live audience.

Giant tanks had already been playing for a while, and i came in during their noise rock finale. incorporating noise bass, trumpet, drums guitar and laptop squiggles, the cacophony was enjoyable enough, without ever really rising above an indulgent jam. however it was played with gusto, and the on stage spectacle raised a smile. These kids were really enjoying themselves. James from V/Vm later told them they were like Black Dice but better... a fair comment.
