Trademark, Silence is Sexy and Wolfsheim concert

Last night I went to see the Wolfsheim concert despite my earlier plans not to go. I was quite glad I went the concert was excellent.

The supporting acts were Trademark and Silence is Sexy.

I did not care much for Trademark, they seem to be a bit of a Kraftwerk inspired electronic band completely with glowing costumes and all, but it lacked something in the overall execution. Silence is Sexy was really good I thought, the female vocal has a very strong voice it may be worth trying to get hold of some of their music.

Wolfsheim was fantastic, it is mostly a 2 man band with what seemed to be temporary band members on drums and guitar, one member takes care of the music with the help of a Apple Powerbook while the other does all the singing, after listening to them now for 3 years or so it was really great to finally see them live other than on the DVD I have of their concerts.

The concert was held at the Carling Islington Academy. The venue is pretty small but has an impressive lightning system and good sized stage, the sound quality can do with some improvement though as there were quite a bit of distortion some times.
