Fri 2 Oct – Wavves, Ganglians
First of all, the Ganglians were a pleasant surprise. I had only heard a song online and wasn't that impressed but they were pretty good live. The singer went from acoustic guitar to synth and used some interesting vocal effects throughout his set. The drummer and bassist held things together while the guitarist added some noise. Wavves exploded into their set with effects on the guitar and vocals, despite the fact I had heard they sounded more acoustic live. The drums were much faster and sounded even better. I just wish the guitar had been turned up more. There was a drunk who kept making comments throughout the show which lead to a Black Flag cover. Other than that, they played new material which was cool to hear first live. 8/10
