Wild Beasts

Wild Beasts at London 100 Club, Tue 29 Jul

Review by Jeremy Allen

It is probably easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for mesmerising Kendal-spawned foursome Wild Beasts to be pigeonholed»

100 Club

Capacity: 300

Train: Charing Cross (15 mins) Euston (17 mins)

Tube: Tottenham Court Rd (3 mins)

The venue is legendary due to the connections with early punk gigs. The Sex Pistols played here, don't you know. *yawn*

If you're in a band then don't ever phone them and ask for a gig, cos you'll get your head ripped off. They get hundreds of calls a week. If you want a gig here, you'll need the hire the place or latch onto somebody else hiring it.

Not much happens in the way of rock gigs. Is mainly blues and and jazz and stuff.

The is a great big pillar in the middle-front of the stage. Odd.

Nice little basement venue though.

Wild Beasts being of the modern, being of the renaissance, being baggy pantsed, being tight pantsed, being in a scene and being in a place.

So we bent our backs and leaned hard into our chores, like an old slugger working the ring, the furious fist of fate swung his swing and we took the lot - full on the sweet spot.
