Primal Scream and BJM at Club Nokia

Brian Jonestown Massacre were cool, although after seeing DiG! one can't help be a little disappointed if they make it through the set without at least one fight... The sound was a little quiet (compared to Primal Scream) but this gave the set a warm mellow feel as the 8 piece band (is four guitars really necessary?) dispensed their smacked out wall of sound...



I gave up buying Primal Scream music in the 90's when they started to turn into the Rolling Stones. There are still elements of the Stones (Rocks, Country Girl) but the majority of the set was pure Stooges - an assault on the senses of speed, volume and blinding white lights. Breaking out of this relentless assult provided the best moments - in Screamadelica's 'Higher than the sun' and 'Movin on up', 'Kill all hippies' and a blistering version of 'Swastika eyes'...
