Kiajaroovah [The Frog and Nightgown, Worksop]

Mon, 14 Nov 2005

Leicester kindly provided for us tonight Kiajaroovah. These are the flip side to the previous band this evening: I’d heard of these over and over, but they are a well established and great band, and unfortunately played a virtually empty venue. There’s four of them, and I find myself enjoying the rocky, psychedelic Faith No More, Incubus-ey with veins of metal in there without realizing nobody’s singing. Turns out they do have vocals on a fair few of their tracks, they just chose an instrumental set tonight due to the lack of numbers in the crowd. They are really good, I hate to use the words “experimental” and “sophisticated” when it comes to trying to describe music in the appalling way I do, so “something a little different” and “if you like your live music to be a form of expression, then see Kiajaroovah” will suffice- but you metal, rock, punk types, don’t be put off- there not a pretentious moment to be had!

I knew we weren't pretentious. I like this bit:“if you like your live music to be a form of expression, then see Kiajaroovah” Perhaps a tad pretentious though.
