Future of the Left in London
31 January 2007
Last night I tootled down to the 100 Club on Oxford St to see the rather wonderful Future of the Left.
Didn’t get to see the first support, but the second band on was three lads called Kong, who were surprisingly brilliant. Very loud, and certainly not afraid of doing a bit of shouting they were a breath of fresh air. They, err, also looked slightly scary.
Scarlyness paled into submission when Future of the Left came on, though – they were excellent; heavy riffs and interesting lyrics. The set was a little shorter then I would have liked, but they’ve not been around long so it’s to be expected. Extra bonus points for having the requisite witty banter, and dismantling the drum kit at the end while the drummer was still playing.
Here are some pics – all taken with my Canon G7. The first 5 are Kong, and the rest Future of the Left.
