Reviewed Be Your Own Pet / Future Of The Left for Kruger the other day. Not too happy with my review though. Need to head to Dalston library, I've been neglecting books for Zelda and its doing my vocabulary (and sex appeal) no favours.
Future Of The Left struck me as a strange choice to support tonight. Happy, bouncy teenage punks they are not and they've never seemed keen to align themselves with buzz bands. Playing to a largely indifferent crowd didn't seem to bother them, in fact I'm pretty sure I saw Falko smile. As always the set was tight and the banter was flawless. A few more nodding heads would've been better.
As for BYOP? Well they're the perfect band for YouTube addicts, energetic, watchable and no song lasts longer than two minutes. The only problem is that things get a bit samey. Tonight's show was like being made to watch that Aussie Party Guy video fourteen times in a row. I should have just left after the first song, after that I only got the same thing again and again. While they have enough energy to keep the Scala crowd entertained the biggest cheers came for older tracks like Adventure and Damn Damn Leash. If BYOP want to keep the masses entertained, they need to up their game.
