Last night I was massively fortunate enough to see the London show off the current 'In Solvent See 2010' tour of the mighty Skinny Puppy. Not only was it the first time I'd seen them, but I had been looking forward to it well before actually booking the tickets back in February. Needless to say, I wasn't at all disappointed.
Support came from a UK band called 'Hounds'. They weren't a bad band; generic punk rock with elements of synthesisers here and there (obviously over-tracked or played off stage as it wasn't any of the visible band). Why they were supporting Skinny Puppy, I don't know. Maybe it was last minute, maybe it was completely intentional... Either way, for me and a fair few others, it didn't work. We wanted to see Skinny Puppy, and if we'd had something remotely similar or even completely different that did the trick it'd have been superb. As such, we were treated to a rather generic but not hugely regrettable performance. They lasted the standard 30 minutes, before it then took 55 minutes for the stage to be set and the guys to take to the fold. It was a long, beer-fueled hour or so until the first sights of Skinny Puppy (I did however see cEvin outside, but that doesn't count).

...and yet there is still a further redesign! This one warrants a version upgrade even if it's still the same fucker.
Oh, and more importantly, Godflesh are reforming to play Supersonic 2010. Splendid.

With a weary sigh it's been announced that after 13 years, ISIS are no more.
