A double dose of most-excellent live action, captured rather wonderfully by DiS photographers Toby Price and Lucy Johnston.

They're an israeli band- a bit stoogesy, but with one guitar, drums and vox.

I was next to the photographer at that gig, it was pretty nuts! I feel sorry for whoever had to tidy up after that gig though.

Monotonix

are pretty much the best live band I've ever seen ever. In fact, I can't believe they do that every night. I don't feel sorry for the person who tidies up, I feel sorry for the drummer who seems to get twatted with a bin at every gig they play. They're all going to hurt themselves at some point, especially the singer who I thought was going to jump off the ULU balcony. Looks like they're not playing the UK again for ages - this is a bad thing.

and they make Tim Harrington's antics look really lame.

FUCK!!!

I can't believe how good Dananananaykroyd and Johnny Foreigner were last night. I've seen Jofo loads of times and they keep getting better. But last night, I think having Danana on before them made them up their game significantly.
And Danana, SO much fun. I was laughing and signing along from start to finish.
Great show!!
Really hate proud gallery though. Shit venue. Crap sound. No vibe.
