Yeah I should've chimed in about the Nightingales as well. In
Somerville last Friday Robert was in fine fettle --despite ghastly
treatment by "grumpy sound-man" (who only showed up at 9:30 and spent
the entire evening reading a book...), but the band were astonishing.
"Teen phenom" is no exaggeration for Matt Wood, original Prefect
guitarist Alan Apperley worked with him brilliantly (Strat [my
eyesight sucks and my hearing wouldn't let me get any closer so it
might've been a different Fender] and Lyre guitars make a very cool
combination sonically), Stephen Lowe channeled my hero JJ Burnel
perfectly, and Daren Garratt (who drummed with Pram at some point
[not the Prams]) was just spectacular...
I'm not sure quite how to put it but they played at extreme speed and
still managed to stay out of each other's ways -a denser,
Beefheartier early Feelies (with Robert Lloyd) might come close...
And the older material was if anything tighter than former versions
of the N'gales were on the records.
Truth-in-advertizing dept: the Rough Trade "mix" of the Prefects'
"Things in General" and a gussied-up version of the live "Agony
Column" from their live CD (courtesy of Acute and Caroline True,
respectively) will both grace Messthetics #103 [Midlands v.1], out
sometime next month...
peace,
C.
