Enon

if you only stayed for say the first six or so songs and thought it was ace then it was a sensible decision? I was actually amazed at how mainstream they sounded as i expected more of a harsh noise and off kilter tempos, so it was pleasant surprise :) having actually heard their albums now am even more impressed, so think the next time will help if you know the songs. possibly.

although I'm sure they finished on a particularly noisy effects-laden rendition of Conjugate the Verbs, but doesn't that contradict what you said in your review a little? Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I'm just not quite sure what you're trying to say about them in the review.

I think we have different views of the gig. The majority of the set was made up of material off of Grass Geysers... which, I think, clocks in at just over 35 minutes on record plus they played a couple of choice cuts from their other albums. So, if anything, I personally would've liked them to have played longer than the hour or so that they were on.

I found the band to be reassuringly tight and thought it was great hearing whatever jarring guitar lines and odd sounds Schmersal conjured up. Sure at times he made it look easy but I can't begrudge him or the band for knowing their instruments. I suppose I'm a bit surprised to see the gig get a 5 rating, especially given that Ill Ease's slightly mundane but endearing set received an 8. I thought Enon rocked it from start to finish, did the business and left and if that's one paced then I'm all for it.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for a guy playing guitar with his mouth though.

john is an amazing guitarist, amazing
