Norwich Sound + Vision // 12.10.12

Day two and tiredness starts to set in...

Norwich Sound + Vision // 12.10.12

After a great time yesterday, it was back to the Arts Centre for day two of NS+V.

Proceedings commence well in the auditorium with the angular indie/postpunk of Vuvuvultures and the Celtic rock/afrobeat fusion of Bwani Junction.

A rush to the Hog In Armour for “next big thing” Palma Violets wasn’t the best move, seven garage songs that could have been out-takes from the “Nuggets” compilations is not the future. Maybe I just missed the point.

Moving swiftly on to OPEN for Deaf Club. Not particularly original but a satisfying shoegaze/post-rock hybrid none the less, recalling Sennen and MBV.

Unfortunately, Nightingales were a huge disappointment at the Waterfront Studio. Frankly, a band that has been around on and off for over thirty years should not keep an audience waiting for fifteen minutes, have to tune up on stage and then have technical issues with FX pedals. As a result of tiredness after a day at work and disappointment at Nightingals, I headed for home and missed Ice.Sea.Dead.People who I will hopefully catch soon.
