Ice Cream Social + Cape Of Good Hope + Virile + The Small Print |

Bivouac, Lincoln 03 February 2007
Review by Pete
Despite a poor showing on the door, all four bands who played the Biv tonight got up there and gave it all they've got to maximum appreciation from those few present and each other.
That helps big time.
Virile, up from playing to several hundred Mancunians on
Thursday were sensational. To hear them in such circumstances felt
like a privilege. Much as anyone would have felt being invited along
to a happening at Andy Warhol's Factory in the sixties to hear Velvet
Underground play. The band is cohesive and all work smoothly to
achieve the same wall of peppy grunge noise that entrances. There is
something epic about this sound while always remaining modest. The
snare drum tightened right up gives an
The Cape of Good Hope from out of town piled on the noise and Ice Cream Social appeared, all in hoodies and had a really good laugh and finally got people to the front and having a bit of a mosh. It was a top night.

There's no getting away from the fact that when the room is
heaving with smiley juvenile organisms up for a good night out it fuels
some top sounds from bands who just love to rise to the occasion. Seb,
Hannah and Chris from The Small Print took whatever positive vibe was
in the air though and kicked off with quality music that could easily
be way too classy for a town like this, let alone a venue like this!
It's serious without ever becoming conceited, trusting the audience to
make a connection. It's head music and seems to be developing a
baroque magnificence that would demand heavy repeat playing as a CD at
home.
industrial beat that underpins a
lot of the hardcore work on top. Fantastic.
