No apologies for turning this one on its head.\u00a0 Three fine turns here, but hats off to Cardiff’s favourite bar-room philosophers GINDRINKER<\/strong> who with this gig reach the milestone of their 100th ‘live action’.\u00a0 A standing ovation from the pavilion is surely only right and proper.\u00a0 Plus, it’s only taken them five-and-a-quarter years to do it, which is both quicker and more entertaining than Geoff Boycott.\u00a0 There’s a split single with tonight’s other local heroes Joy Of Sex in the offing, and they’ve not played much lately so they’re liable to go off at a cracking pace.\u00a0 Get there early.<\/p>\n

DAVID CRONENBERG’S WIFE<\/strong>, for the uninitiated, mine the same bleak, sardonic lyrical seams as Gindrinker’s DC Gates.\u00a0 Loosely affiliated with the UK Antifolk mob, but don’t be put off;\u00a0 Tom Mayne’s songs are witty, provocative and occasionally even affecting.\u00a0 Two fine albums and a clutch of singles are available, so bring funds.\u00a0 Think The Fall, Clinic, Country Teasers.\u00a0 That sort of thing.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

EXTRADITION ORDER<\/strong> are indie art-punk from Warrington.\u00a0 “Some of their songs are like the Fall on laxatives and some are like the Monks overdosing on Red Bull”, apparently.\u00a0 Well!<\/p>\n

JOY OF SEX<\/strong> have cooled their jets somewhat since their initial burst of gigging activity a year or so ago, one Joy Collective-sponsored shindig<\/a> aside; this will be a neat reintroduction to their charms.\u00a0 Nagging, insistant minimal post-punk nuggets with a spiky charm and a raised eyebrow.<\/p>\n

DAVID CRONENBERG\u2019S WIFE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018bitterly humorous lyrics.. a mix of The Fall\u2019s 80s rockabilly inspired \u2018Grotesque\u2019 and the Velvet Underground\u2019 [NME on \u201cHypnagogues\u201d]<\/p>\n

EXTRADITION ORDER<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘it basically sounds like the Sonics… Sharp riffs, wibbling organ and a vocal best described as demonic; this actually sounds like it’s got the dust and scratches of 30 years in a bar-room jukebox ingrained into it’ [Manchester Music]<\/p>\n

JOY OF SEX<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201ca wired, boggle-eyed take on the fuzzily taut Pixies\/Wire dynamic with criss-crossing vocals, wrecked song structures and seeming stream of conscious while still meaningful lyrics\u201d [Sweeping The Nation]<\/p>\n

GINDRINKER<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u201cGindrinker created their own violent micro-climate, blazing through their set with customary belligerent zeal\u2026 a pair intoxicated with paranoia and convinced that the world won\u2019t listen, but shouting-out anyway from lowly stages in the homes of the vain\u201d [Huw Menear, UWIC paper]<\/p>\n
