It’s been a while. And while it has been a while. It’s been a good while. Which leads us here…
We headed for India in the form of Govindas on Soho Street for tiffin.
Refreshed and rehydrated we stretched our legs across Oxford Street taking refuge at number 100. Inside we found the familiar interior, unchanged and untouched by time, a permanent, impervious encapsulated monument to live music, like a woolly mammoth preserved in amber…
Just then, the London Sewage Company took the stage and warmed up the crowd with gusto.
Shortly thereafter, it was the turn of Department S who took up the gauntlet and masterfully performed their art to all and sundry.
Meanwhile, while we’d been whiling away etc Etc EiTC… Before we knew where we were, or probably after to be more accurate… It was Rutting time!
Ruts DC proceeded to entertain the gathered mass with skill and craft by the bucket load. A mixture of songs from the bands various incarnations all gratefully received with the same enthusiasm.
Kicking off with Vox Teardrop. The band were in good spirits (as ever) and delivered a tight set of finely crafted gems in their inimitable manner.
They made it seem like a stroll in the park, with a good mixture of light and dark.
The classic Ruts material sounded fab as both Segs and Leigh respectively did justice in honouring the legacy of Malcolm Owen and Paul Fox. And Ruffy did what Ruffy does with aplomb!
The Animal Now period got a look in tonight with the Superb Dangerous Minds, as relevant today as ever and we also had that period’s b-side in the form of Formula Eyes.
Mighty Soldier was mighty!
Peace Bomb was the Bomb!
And honourable mention to:
It was Cold, In A Rut, Babylon’s Burning, Backbiter, Sus, West One, Love in Vain, Jah War, Music Must Destroy, Psychic Attack etc Etc EiTC…
Before we knew it, we were back out in the West End night preparing for our next Indian adventure prior to descending to the depths and avoiding the chunky puddles on the night tube…
Over…
EiTC.
Thank you Sir, we would be nothing without y’all
