just saw
Krokodil
Big Business
Mastodon
at Southampton Guildhall. It's alsways been a s*** venue, big bands rarely play there, it "recently" became the O2 guildhall, sound still sucks
Krokodil I've heard their CD, and was looking forward to them, but they suffered from 1st support act, don't bother setting the sound up properly syndrome, so they sounded terribe, in a small/decent venue they may have been good, would like to see them again.
Big Business are a 2 piece, I've seen them before, as part of Melvins and without, they were awesome, my mate hadn't seen them before and really enjoyed them. the drummer is incredible, relentless like a machine.
Mastodon were ok, I've seen them better before, so I blame the venue, just sounded like a bit of a muddied dirge in places, which is a shame
Mostly stuff off new album, a few from The Hunter, and Oblivion from Crack the Skye.
