My brain should be under a flannel, weeping, not poked violently by sadistic young \u2018musicians\u2019. But what do brains know: tonight\u2019s rinse-out starts with two bands plying bracing assault music, high volume devastation bent into focussed riff worship. Although <strong>Death Of Her Money<\/strong> have a nice line in varying degrees of sludge Sabbath, and are the only band I\u2019ve seen whose singer can uncork a white wine bottle midsong, <strong>Dethscalator<\/strong> edge them for hypnotically strung out noise, songs building to slowly destroy, or locking into waves of low end goodness.<\/p>\n<p>The Osaka Invasion begins with a man in a loosely-tied kimono, standing on a drumstool, pointing to his knob. This is <strong>Bogulta<\/strong>, and they are also bracing, like being mugged by a naturist. They are drums and bass overdrive, playing over a mess of samples, and their cartoon Lightning Bolt sprint is ridiculously lovable. <strong>Maruosa<\/strong> is next, and shows what one man can do with a screaming laptop, when there\u2019s no school tomorrow. Clots of noise, screaming, long hair; vaguely entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>Quicker, drunker. We&#8217;re edging towards dayglo brain abuse now: <strong>Ove-naxx<\/strong> might operate at the cuddlier end of breakcore, but his cheery mentalism still owns, and even prods the curious musicians from the upstairs indie meh-fest to wobble like grinning fools. And <strong>DJ Scotch Egg<\/strong> kind of takes all this twisted beered-up bonhomie and <em>squares<\/em> it. Not sure when Shige became the pied piper of booze casualties but you now get full pints mixing with the obscenely loud destructobeats in the air. It\u2019s great, obviously, a little hairy goblin hopping through Gameboy noise levels, on wet equipment. Someone pushes a laptop through the front row, his friend\u2019s face filling the screen. You can tell she\u2019s watching the gig: she keeps putting her hands to her wide-eyed face. Too much fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man, I\u2019m hungover.
