The M.E.N. has covered 72 grassroots gigs over the last year - and here's what Ethan Davies learned in the process
It's now been a year of the grassroots gig guide - and these reviews will be the last in this format.
First up, wear hearing protection. Please. Even if it's some foam ear plugs at the bar, it's better than nothing. I went to the Warmduscher show with a pal who didn't use them - guess who had ringing in his ears for the whole weekend? Not me. The penultimate learning is stick with an act. As Joe Goggins did for Princess Goes... and I did for Jaws, with varying results, it had been some time since a big hit came out. Joe left really satisfied. It's worth going back to your old favourites.
That issue is not one for Geese however. Starting with Cameron Winter’s solitary vocal which goes from Pavarotti to Iggy Pop in a matter of minutes, meaning the group had 2023 BOTW feeling more like 1979 CBGBs very quickly. It was energy which infected the crowd, with there hardly being a moment where a mosh pit was being formed or deformed, with the less physically minded fans still dancing along. That energy, combined with a consummate performance from each of the band, produced a snarling, surly, and sexy act from the group.
