with Dum Language and Spacetoast<\/h2>\n

\nThis gig was organised by The Cookie<\/a><\/p>\n

When I arrived, Dum Language<\/strong> was on stage. This was a band that was reviewed on 19th July<\/a>. So it was good to see them again. To my ears, it sounded like grunge with some sort of metal overtone. The three-piece group is from Leicester. Although having only one vocalist, the band’s music was not without impact. Plenty of compelling rhythms and attractive beats laced with some class guitar-playing. The band got the night off to a satisfying start.<\/p>\n

Another band that has previously been reviewed<\/a> in this magazine, is Spacetoast<\/strong>. The Leicestershire quartet made quite a stir, the audience moshing to most of their songs. Bouncy tunes had the crowd dancing, pretty much throughout. The band delivered its set with plenty of energy. A set comprising covers and original works, the music full of vitality. Spacetoast really rocked. The audience got their music. I thought, ‘it is so nice to see all these young people enjoying themselves.’<\/p>\n
