The Mezz Bar, Lincoln
27 June 2008
Photos & Review by Pete
RaW and Buzz TV kicked off their band management love-in with a showcase gig of their first three acts on their books down at The Mezz Bar at the Uni. With licensing still an issue there for the time being it was an invite only workaround - which made everyone who was invited The opening stage act was Little Imp who was indeed quite little and making her debut in fact and bristling with positive energy and full of chattiness. Playing solo with acoustic guitar for the first number she soon brought on her band and switched to a fab electric guitar. The vocal had me feeling there was something good, plenty of potential and with a big personality, that’s for sure. The band got more room to go for it by the end and sure made the most of it with a surge of exciting sounds. The Jubilees have been around a while and have carved out a rock sound that doesn’t do much wrong and does a fair bit right but for me it was only by the end that it finally got really in the groove with the last couple of songs which lifted their whole set up a few notches. Hyper Snyper don’t hang about, they typically don’t even use a very short touch paper it’s just off with a bang. There were less people around for them than their usual scarily manic fanbase and it was actually twenty seconds into their first number that people got moving. Well at least eight seconds, anyway which is VERY subdued for them. The band didn’t let the

feel kinda warm and gooey inside and ensured people who showed up were ready to be extra supportive of the night. Integral to the sounds on offer were also three newbie guesting DJ’s on the decks who kept coming up with a wild schbang of all sorts of diverse and interesting sounds.
lack of the usual immediate mayhem worry them too much and with skilled playing all round and a hard-core passion fuelled delivery it was warming the place up pretty fast. Once they got really going (four seconds) there wasn’t no stopping ‘em and they roared on and on, eventually cramming an hour’s worth of material into their 35 minute slot. But the over run didn’t seem a problem for anyone. A working week is just so useful as a build up to a Hyper Snyper gig, it’s the intro to the big bang moment. Fuel to be ignited. As a band the downbeat street image and fusion of various roots of musical lineage almost disguise some full-on heavy metal and grunge riffs and lines, there’s no other way to say it, and it’s all credible and satisfying. The keyboard playing slipping in big complex chords on top just makes it deeper and unexpectedly wholesome. This is smartass songwriting and no doubt about it, they have something going on here that’s easy to underestimate but not easy to ignore.
