Another tough choice this year. Shall I shit myself, or puke? But enough of my New Year's stomach upset, onto my gig of the year. And what
a surfeit of high-volume peaches it turned out to be; beginning with
Bilge Pump and Lords sweating the fuck out of a rickety Nottingham hostelry and
Merzbow blowing De Montfort Uni's electrics several times, then staggering through the mighty
Melt-Banana to crash into
Slayer showing some Kiss / Metallica tribute how it should be done.
But it is to the less ear-shredding side the award goes; a joint award, in fact, since both acts were equally staggering. In the perfect venue of London's St. Giles-in-the-Fields church,
Stars of the Lid and Lichens were undisputed kings of the musical trip.
