Once again dispensing with waffle\u2026<\/em>\r\n(For the most part etc Etc EiTC)<\/em>\r\n\r\nAnd getting down to business\u2026<\/em>\r\n\r\nWell that\u2019s why you\u2019re here?...<\/em><\/pre>\n
Then, before I knew it, I found myself in Camden and it was only Six o\u2019clock!<\/p>\n
In a hole in the ground I encountered a gathering who, like me, were here to hear the magnificent Ruts DC.<\/p>\n
An early start to tonight\u2019s gig due to the 10pm curfew for live music (Great! Cocoa and bed before the pumpkin hour methinks).<\/p>\n
After partaking of a drink in the company of Mr and Mrs Rockula, Mrs Bloggs led me down further in to the depths of the underworld where we discovered Mr Bloggs and Straightenout (with his shirt – more on that later…) among numerous others, enjoying the delights of Department S. And what delights they were. A new experience for me seeing this band (and only really being aware of \u2018that\u2019 song), I was duly impressed.<\/p>\n
\"all\"<\/a><\/p>\n
A foundation of solid drumming and truly inspirational bass playing, layered with creative and engaging guitar, topped off with ultra-cool vocal stylings and performance. And they played \u2018that\u2019 song! And it was superb! And the sound was also superb in here tonight. Reckon I\u2019ll be seeing this lot again.<\/p>\n

A short break. Then before we knew it – Ruts DC took the stage and had us eating out of their palms as they delivered a solid set of Rutty, Ruttish afore alluded to magnificence, they may also have been just a little bit more sparkly than normal\u2026<\/p>\n

Kicking off with West One, the crowd were pleased and rightly so. Segs informed us that we may not know quite a bit of the set tonight as they kicked into the rocker Vox Teardrop and we just lapped it up.<\/p>\n
