Dubioza Kolektiv

Extremely high energy performance. Every member was constantly grinning and bouncing around for 2 hours of intense mayhem, they must have been exhausted. They were absolutely bonkers. They entered the stage with a robot warning tone, and then all came out wearing a bright yellow football uniform looking like bees and holding a sign that said HEY.


It was the weirdest mix of music that I have ever experienced but it was impossible to stand still. It was Shrillex mixed with pop punk, mixed with rap and Bosnian traditional music. After discussing we agreed that 2 1/2 songs was the perfect amount before a break was needed as you went from loving to hating with no in between.

Caulder

Caulder The Lending Rooms 31.05.19 The songs were extremely musically created. T he songs progressed through lots of layer, you were watching the texture build.  They were thoughtfully composed with build ups and drops. The tunes had a balance of being exposed as well as loud and expressive.  A memorable part was where the first half of the last song was played on acoustic guitar and recorded on a loop which was then played back in the second half, layering it with electric guitar and different drums. They were technically constructed and the phrases had dynamic range. There were some talented funky improvisations. The songs have a balance of being organised while DIY and experimental. Their set was varied, each song was quite different. They had such control over their sound. They were extremely in-sync, carrying out well coordinated stops in their songs. They could completely fill the room and created such a full sound out from 2 musicians.

Edinburgh Fringe

Edinburgh Fringe Shows Wednesday 31st July The grey cat and the flounder  (studio 1, George square) Interesting concept. Elements theoretically could have worked and been very clever and different. A not children’s children show. Very American. Ear phones more immersive Completely bizarre Wierd wierd story Didn’t enjoy Puppetry funny Elements too long 4/10 Bible John  (pleasance) About True Crime and women murdered. The unpicking of a case. Very fast paced. Lots of different stage drama techniques. 4 girls. Very busy performance. Used repetition and dance. Aunty  (the box George square) Kiwi crazy aunt. Major audience interaction. Very intimate. Lots of teasing. Lots of wine. Very funny. I believe in Merkels (roxy downstairs) Nicola Sturgeon, Theresa May and Angela Merkel cabaret burlesque lip sync. Really good fun. Some rowdy Scottish lasses who were vocal about their SnP beliefs. Police Cops: Badass be thy name (studio 1, George square) watched 2ce Manchester ra...
