Naughty Zombies at Drop Dead Prague
Straight into the venue again. I’ve heard a rumour that there was a band on that we missed, but who really knows.

First band we saw were The Naughty Zombies (http://www.myspace.com/naughtyzombies)(Pictures). Good fun fast paced Rock N Roll from spain. Top live act. The music is a bit of a hybrid, but there’s definitely some cramps influence in there as well.

The next band up were The Sixteens. Didn’t seem to do anything for me, and insisted on playing in the dark so no photos either (some of us are nice enough to know that only idiots use a flash at gigs =:p).

So moving swiftly on we come to Din Glorious (www.myspace.com/dinglorious)(Pictures) A multicoloured cacaphony with cocks is probably a decent description of these New Yorkers. The Crowd seemed to enjoy them with a teeny pit starting up. Definitely on the art punk side of the festival.

Antiworld at Drop Dead Prague></a> Following on were old favourites Antiworld (<a href=myspace.com/antiworld)(Pictures) They bounced through a classic set, complete with fake heads and audience throw outs.

Next on the bill were ‘French Cold Wave Pioneers’ Norma Loy (http://www.myspace.com/normaloy) (Pictures) Not a name I was familiar with. Interesting set, but seemed a bit slow and plodding after Antiworld

Lene Lovich at Drop Dead Prague 2007

But that may have just been getting us ready for Lene Lovich. Not an artist I know very much about, but it was certainly interesting. Unfortunately I was lured away to the bar a bit to sharpish at the end, so missed Antiworld coming on stage to perform with her. D’oh

No baroque for us today, just a wander round prague and then straight into the venue.

First up were Varsovie (http://www.myspace.com/varsovie) (Pictures). Another French post punk band (they seem to be churning them out at the moment). Very enjoyable. Unfortunately due to very fast change over times (impressively so) I didn’t get a chance to see if they had any CDs on offer, but I’m tempted by the paypal button on their myspace.

Next were Moldig (www.myspace.com/moldig) (Pictures). They work well at home on CD, but just didn’t grab me live. The guitarist does appear to have had a sip at the fountain of Jimi though……

Quickly followed by Los Carniceros del Norte(http://www.myspace.com/loscarnicerosdelnorte) (pictured left) (Pictures).. Good fast Spanish horror punk. The singer definitely looked at home on the stage, though could probably have done with some more room to stalk, and some more things to hang off of.

Twisted Nerve (http://www.myspace.com/twistednervosis). (Pictures) First gig in 22 years. Hit the stage running and didn’t really stop. 22 years didn’t seem to have dented the bravado, some comments were made comparing them to the Gallagher brothers….


Ausgang (http://www.myspace.com/ausganguk)(Pictures). Was too busy chatting at a bar to make it in for the start of there set so ended up quite a way back. So not many photos. The banged out the usual upbeat performance as normal. Certainly pulled in a decent sized crowd with quite a bit of dancing going on.

Rubella Ballet (http://www.myspace.com/rubellaballet)(Pictures) Here comes the Day Glo crowd. Great set with all the favourites. Spend most of it down the front bouncing around, and ended up with a sore throat from singing along (probably not helped by the 30 a day habit that appears to be manadatory in the Czech republic).


Sex Gang Children http://www.myspace.com/sexgangchildren)(Pictures) First of 2 sets from Andi. This was a proper ‘Sex Gang children” one, with a solo Andi sexgang set to follow on the Sunday. He certainly seemed in fine form, with a decent setlist (thought the obligatory shouting for Sebastianne did start quite early on).
